Montréal: A community committed to R&D

If New York is the city that never sleeps, Montréal is the city that never stops innovating. Thanks to strategic investments, strong government incentives and a dynamic research ecosystem, the region offers a stimulating environment for research and development. In the aerospace sector alone, 70% of Canadian R&D is carried out here. And Québec is the Canadian province with the highest ratio of R&D spending to GDP, with annual figures in excess of $12 billion CAD.

Our commitment to research is supported by R&D tax credits, prestigious institutions such as Mila and IVADO and, of course, our world-class universities. In Montréal, the pursuit of excellence is top of mind.
