QUEBEC CITY METROPOLITAN AREA

Highlights

Québec International is celebrating 10 years of contributions to the economic development of the greater Quebec City region. It is thus a timely occasion to take stock of our progress over the past decade.

Our economic achievements have been remarkable, and we can all be proud of them. They are a reflection of the combined efforts of all the socio-economic players who have rallied around a shared vision and who have worked together to ensure the success of our region.

This publication is a tribute to the builders of our economic success, to their dynamic business community, and to all those who support them.
