Application Steps:

It will allow us to confirm the eligibility of your company and your project in a preliminary manner according to the program criteria. This confirmation can in no case be interpreted as an authorization for financial assistance.

No specific documents are listed.
Other Things to Note:
As of February 9, 2024, the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy (MEIE) is temporarily suspending the opening of forms and the transmission of applications under PSCE Component 2 and 3. As the agent for this program, Investissement Québec must therefore suspend the reception of new applications until further notice.
Any request received incomplete will not be processed.
This suspension is mainly intended to ensure the availability of funds in order to meet contractual commitments.
