Grant Summary
The Programme de soutien à la commercialisation et à l'exportation (PSCE) offered by Investissement Québec has been temporarily suspended by the Ministry of Economy, Innovation, and Energy to ensure funding availability for existing commitments. The program had three distinct objectives geared towards supporting Quebec-based businesses in expanding their market reach and internationalization.
Programme de soutien à la commercialisation et à l'exportation (PSCE) Grant Overview
The Programme de soutien à la commercialisation et à l'exportation (PSCE) is a comprehensive initiative aimed at assisting Quebec companies in enhancing their marketing and export capabilities. The program, divided into three separate volets, or phases, catered to various business sizes and objectives.
Volet 1: Strengthening SMEs for the Quebec Market and beyond
The first volet focused on empowering small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to market their products and services within Quebec and take the initial steps towards international export. It aimed to help SMEs integrate into strategic supply chains in Quebec and prepare them to bid on public procurement opportunities.
Volet 2: Enhancing SMEs' Export Capacity
The second volet was designed to bolster the export capabilities of SMEs by facilitating projects to market products and services outside of Quebec. By supporting the development of external markets, this phase aimed to accelerate the international presence of Quebec-based SMEs and foster their growth beyond provincial boundaries.
Volet 3: Supporting Large Enterprises in International Ventures
The third volet targeted large enterprises and their strategic initiatives on global markets. It aimed to assist these companies in executing projects that aimed at internationalizing their operations and expanding their presence on a global scale. By providing tailored support, this phase aimed to facilitate the realization of large enterprises' global ambitions.
While the PSCE grant program is currently on hold, it plays a vital role in the economic development of Quebec by promoting innovation, competitiveness, and expansion of businesses in both local and international markets.
