Hypercroissance Québec is the first program in Quebec dedicated to startups in the hyper-growth phase or scaleups.
The program
The program, developed in collaboration with our partner Apexe Global and the financial support of the Ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation du Québec, aims to increase exports and to accelerate the growth of Québec scaleups by increasing their ability to succeed in their hyper-growth phase and to expand to global markets.
Our Objective: We want to help accelerate the growth of participating scaleups and help them access international markets thanks to our network of successful executives and founders from top international ecosystems. We will work with scaleup executives as a team, across functions, to penetrate new global markets and create hypergrowth.
Check out our press release for more information on the 12 innovative Québec-based high-growth companies who were part of the first cohort (June-September 2022).
