CEO Vision 2025

When CEOs Chart the Path of the Digital Economy

From April 8 to 10, more than 140 tech CEOs gathered in Tremblant. Once again, the magic happened, and a powerful energy filled the air. With some perspective, here is a look back at the 2025 edition of CEO Vision — still the leading source of momentum and identity for the AQT.

AI AND THE CDAE REFORM: THE NEED FOR VIGILANCE TO MAXIMIZE IMPACT

AI is now fully recognized as a driver of productivity and a catalyst for investment.
The recent reform of the CDAE has raised concerns, as AI has become a determining factor in accessing this important tax credit.

The AQT must ensure that this tax credit delivers maximum benefits and that the reform does not hinder digital transformation projects involving high value-added jobs.

GUARDING AGAINST THE IMPACT OF CONTROVERSIAL GOVERNMENT PROJECTS

Poorly executed government-led digital transformation projects can ultimately harm the reputation of the technology sector.
As the voice of Quebec’s tech CEOs, AQT must take on a vigilant role in protecting the reputation of local businesses and homegrown expertise.
AQT must continue its efforts and ensure this voice is heard throughout the ecosystem and by government authorities.

TOWARD A RENEWED AQT

A strategic refocus on tech CEOs and their close executive circle has been validated and enthusiastically received, confirming a strong desire to enhance AQT’s relevance and maximize its impact among tech leaders.

This renewal will be shaped around Vision PDG, the main driver of engagement for Quebec’s tech CEOs.

The new value proposition will be built on three key pillars:

1. A strong and engaged communitY
2. High-quality content
3. Increased recognition and strategic influence

STILL THAT STRIKING FEELING OF A “DAVOS FOR QUEBEC’S TECH CEOS”

Once again this year, closed-door sessions sparked powerful and memorable conversations among committed and candid tech CEOs.

Inspiring talks left a lasting impression and fueled a sense of shared ambition.

And the evenings… were exactly what they should be!

QUEBEC’S AMBITIONS KNOW NO BORDERS

Quebec Companies Like Averna (François Rainville) and Levio (François Dion) Are Sources of Pride — and Positive Contagion. Operating across global markets, these companies inspire others through their growth models, whether by acquisition or organically. Their success stories spark ambition and foster collaboration.

The ambitions of CEOs were further fueled by impressive international journeys shared with authenticity — including that of Charlie Kawwas, CEO of Broadcom.

Two highly aspirational keynotes also stood out: “Uncover Your Blind Spots and Unleash Higher Performance” by Marisa Murray, who encouraged leaders to overcome blind spots to unlock their full potential, and “Beyond Today: The CEO’s Playbook for the Future” by international speaker Alicia Shao, who offered a visionary roadmap for leaders looking to anticipate tomorrow’s major shifts.
