Investment Thesis

Investissement Québec’s investment philosophy is to provide tailored financial solutions and hands-on accompaniment to Quebec companies so they can implement and scale projects — from innovation and productivity improvements to market expansion and green transition. They combine multiple instruments (prêts, garanties, capital-actions, quasi-équité, dette convertible) and flexible terms to meet each company’s needs while acting as an agent of the Québec government to deploy public programs and tax-credit financing.

The firm emphasizes practical, regionally-rooted support (expertise terrain, presence in 17 regions) and the ability to finance a wide range of project types and sizes so businesses can “conserver vos liquidités” while executing growth plans.
