Advocacy
For a Stronger Quebec Through Technology
As a network of technology CEOs, AQT carries a strong and unified voice to advance the key issues facing Quebec’s technology sector. We represent our members before public decision-makers and strategic industry stakeholders to foster a business environment that supports growth, both locally and internationally.
Through our influence and concrete actions with government authorities, we actively contribute to the development of public policies that enhance the competitiveness and long-term sustainability of our companies.

Nos champs d'action
We mobilize our network and bring the voice of technology CEOs into decision-making spaces. Through political meetings, position papers, consultations, and coordinated actions, AQT engages in a structured way to advance the sector’s priorities.
Nearly 40% of our members interact directly or indirectly with public procurement, reflecting the significant impact of our industry on services delivered to citizens. To strengthen collaboration between technology suppliers and public-sector buyers, AQT leads strategic discussions, working sessions, and develops concrete recommendations to improve access to public markets and optimize procurement processes.
Development of Quebec's Tech Sector
AQT acts on three complementary levers, developed in collaboration with its members through dedicated committees to maximize their impact.
Optimize the tax environment and financial mechanisms to support innovation and strengthen the competitiveness of technology SMEs.
Strengthen commercialization capabilities and improve the effectiveness of innovation investments.
