An IT project in Quebec City, in the Capitale-Nationale region
According to Statistics Canada's 2021 Census, Quebec City had 549,459 residents. It is part of the Capitale-Nationale administrative region (in French) (region 03), whose profile published by the Gouvernement du Québec lists Quebec City among its main municipalities, along with Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, L'Ancienne-Lorette, Saint-Raymond, La Malbaie and Pont-Rouge.
The same census gives an overview of how residents are employed: of the 289,040 people in the labour force across all industries, 39,380 are classified in public administration. If your business works for a ministry, a public body or a municipality, or if your project stems from a public call for tenders, attach the related IT requirements to your request: information security, where data is hosted, language and format of deliverables. The IT services firm selected can then address them point by point in its quote.
The mission of Québec International (in French) is to support the economic development of the Québec City region and its national and international reach. The agency also leads three sector clusters (in French), known as niches of excellence: Québec BVI for green and smart buildings, Québec ÉPIX for video games, animation and immersive experiences, and Québec VITAE for biopharmaceuticals, health technologies and natural products.
At the municipal level, the City of Québec offers, through its Fonds local d'investissement (in French), loans for growth and expansion projects carried out in the agglomeration; the Service du développement économique et des grands projets is the point of contact. In the growth and expansion component, acquiring technology and professional fees tied to implementing technology are among the eligible expenses, and the priority sectors include agri-food, optics and photonics, life sciences and clean technologies. The Vision entrepreneuriale Québec 2030 (in French) supports economic development in the Québec City agglomeration through various programs and funding measures for businesses. The City asks businesses to contact its team before applying: that is where to confirm the current criteria.
The Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Québec (in French), founded in 1809, completes the picture. It describes itself as a gathering of the Capitale-Nationale business community that helps members keep learning, position themselves strategically and raise their company's profile, and it has set four areas of action for 2025 to 2028.
One last useful reminder before launching a project: personal information protection falls under Law 25 for every Québec business, including those in the capital. Our Law 25 guide for SMBs outlines the main points. Courtier TI does not manage any of the programs named on this page and does not act on behalf of these organizations. Its contribution lies elsewhere: turning your need into a clear request, then assigning it to the IT services firm with the right expertise.

Sample project (fictional scenario)
A health technology SMB that would like to move to Microsoft 365
Life sciences and health technologies make up one of the three sector clusters led by Québec International (in French), under the name Québec VITAE. Suppose an SMB in this field, with about forty employees, still uses an in-house mail server and shared folders on an ageing file server. It would like to bring email, calendars and documents together in Microsoft 365. Once the form was filled out, the Courtier TI team would contact it to clarify the request: number of mailboxes, archive volume, mobile devices in use, access rules for research documents. The IT services firm selected would then present its quote, which could include planning the migration, configuring accounts and access rights, transferring data and training staff. If the SMB accepted the quote, that firm would carry out the mandate.
This scenario is fictional and for illustration only.
Frequently asked questions
My business is in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures or L'Ancienne-Lorette: can I submit a request?
Yes. Courtier TI accepts requests from businesses in Quebec City as well as from the rest of the Capitale-Nationale region and across Québec. Simply state in the form the municipality where your business is located.
I am a supplier to a public body: should I mention it?
It helps. If a public contract or call for tenders frames your project, attach its IT requirements: security, data hosting, documentation to deliver. The Courtier TI team uses them to clarify your request, and the IT services firm selected can take them into account in its quote. Courtier TI does not provide legal or contractual advice.
What should I prepare before requesting a Microsoft 365 migration?
The number of users, the email and file sharing tools you use today, an estimate of the data volume to transfer and the licences already in place. With this information, the IT services firm selected can describe the migration steps and planned training in its quote.
Who provides information on funding for Quebec City businesses?
Québec International and the City of Québec's Service du développement économique et des grands projets inform businesses about programs in the urban agglomeration, including those of the Vision entrepreneuriale Québec 2030. Criteria change: check them with these organizations before setting your budget. Courtier TI does not administer these programs.
