Who are we?

Our mission is to build a collaborative platform that fosters the development and growth of the hardtech ecosystem in Quebec and Canada. For startups, we offer customized support covering all stages of product development, with a local, sustainable and responsible approach.

We work closely with all players in the ecosystem, from companies to investors, to strengthen financing, investment and collaboration opportunities.

Hardtech, n.m

Hardtech, short for hardware technology, encompasses technologies materialized in the form of physical products, requiring design, manufacture and integration with software. These technologies offer sustainable solutions to global challenges that software alone cannot address.
