The start-up support this organization has offered since 2001 has enabled over 200 businesses to provide innovative goods and services in the areas of agri-food, biotechnology, and environmental sciences. To enable it to pursue its mission, the Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Member of Parliament for Brome‒Missisquoi, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for CED, is announcing a $300,000 non‑repayable contribution for the Lévis organization.

Today's announcement is part of a series of CED announcements that will take place in the coming weeks confirming a total of nearly $40 million in investments in over 20 innovative projects by Quebec businesses and organizations that will contribute to the economy of tomorrow. These are strategic investments in projects that will make it possible to reduce Canada's environmental impact and foster a green, resilient economy.
