Québec is an ideal location for businesses who are thinking about expanding their horizons.

In Québec, they will find:

• A strategic location between Europe and the Americas;
• A market of 130 million consumers within a 1,000-km radius (625 miles);
• An outstanding, available, stable and competitively priced workforce;
• Operating costs that are among the lowest in North America;
• Custom-tailored tax incentives and financial assistance programs.

Located in the North Eastern part of North America, Québec enjoys an enviable, strategic geographic advantage: proximity to such major continental centres as New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, Detroit and Toronto. The Saint Lawrence River, a major waterway, is linked to the Atlantic and reaches as far as the Great Lakes. Efficient road and rail networks as well as airport infrastructures facilitate trade.

"I recruit people around the world, but I can tell you, there's exceptional creativity here that I've never seen elsewhere." -Benoit Fillion, Director of Human Resources, Autodesk Media and Entertainment, January 2009.

Make Québec your gateway to the key Canadian and U.S. markets.
