Other Things to Note:
As of February 23, 2024, the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy (MEIE) is interrupting the PSCE Program Section 1. This suspension is mainly intended to ensure the availability of funds in order to meet contractual commitments.
As the agent for this program, Investissement Québec must therefore suspend the reception of new applications until further notice.
Business applications received before February 23 will be analyzed.
