A mission on the move
Propulsion Québec represents one of Montréal’s 10 industry clusters. It acts as a catalyst for the region’s Electric and Smart Transportation (EST) community and is on a mission to position Québec as a global leader in the field. Propulsion Québec groups together some of the most forward-thinking businesses in EST, as well as research centres and government organizations.
It also sits on the Palais des congrès de Montréal’s multisector strategic taskforce. Members of this taskforce are influencers from the worlds of science and business who can make a difference in an association’s choice of host destination for their event.
