Research and development

Research and development : «On the Technoparc site devoted to the Research and Development, the future occupants can take advantage of the synergy created by the cohabitation of companies all active in related or complementary sectors of Research and Development.

This is without counting the potential synergy between the companies and renowned Montréal institutions of higher learning, such as Concordia, McGill University, Université de Montréal and Université du Québec. Greater Montréal is also home to 50 research and development centers and over 1100 high tech companies. The Québec workforce is not only skilled but also mostly bilingual, and the succession in high sectors of Research and Development is assured.

Finally, on the economic front, customers can count on the strength and reliability of Technoparc Saint-Laurent’s financial syndicate composed of institutional partners: Desjardins, Solim, Hydro-Québeic.

This syndicate offers to own the buildings for companies dedicated to Research and Development that want to be tenants, preferring to devote their investments to Research and Development. Many Technoparc’s occupants have chosen this advantageous solution. Given the financial soundness of these institutions, they can be sure of the construction times and the quality of services that will be provided to maintain the facilities.

Government Research and Development programs in Quebec compare favourably to those offered in all of the world’s technopoles. Most specifically, this means a 5-year tax holiday for the companies accommodated at Technoparc Saint-Laurent. In addition, for 5 years, the Government funds 40% of the salary of any new job created in Research and Development.
