Quebec Learning Expedition 2026: innovate and make your mark on the global stage

Building on the long-standing historic and economic ties between Montpellier and Quebec, and following the success and interest generated by the “Destination Québec” event — the France-Quebec Economic Forum — Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole is now taking things to the next level.

Companies in technology, cultural and creative industries (CCIs), healthcare, renewable energy, and innovation — are you looking for ways to grow your business across the Atlantic? Montpellier Métropole invites you to join a distinguished delegation for an exclusive economic mission to Quebec, organized in partnership with AD’OCC and the Occitanie Region from October 11 to 18, 2026.

We will also be joined on-site by a delegation of companies from the Occitanie Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI Occitanie), representing businesses from various sectors.

For one week, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the heart of the North American ecosystem, accelerate your business opportunities, and build lasting strategic partnerships.

An exceptional, customized preliminary program

The detailed program, which is currently being finalized, will be adapted directly to the profiles and interests of participating companies in order to offer an itinerary that aligns closely with your development goals. It will revolve around three key stops:

1. Sherbrooke & Drummondville: multi-sector regional immersion

  • Discovery of a unique innovation ecosystem (innovation zones, technology hubs, and research centers).
  • Personalized meetings and knowledge-sharing sessions with the region’s economic players.
  • Cross-sector synergies spanning tech, connected industries and life sciences.

2. Montreal: The beating heart of the digital sector with “MTL Connecte”

  • Digital technology as a transversal force across other sectors — healthcare, energy, and the creative industries.
  • Exclusive access to a key event for digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and digital creativity.
  • Focus on Cultural and Creative Industries & Creativity: sessions and workshops dedicated to culture and creativity.
  • High-level networking: discussions with international experts and pre-qualified B2B meetings to help position your company in the North American market.
