The microelectronics industry propels the Quebec economy of today and tomorrow in a multitude of sectors of activity. Intelligent electronic systems are found in a host of common products, such as cell phones, cars, televisions, airplanes, in addition to powering today’s technologies. Any technological innovation, whether artificial intelligence, quantum technology or any connected and intelligent products, has electronic systems as a prerequisite.

In Quebec, this industry represents more than 45,000 jobs and $5.5 billion in economic spinoffs per year. There are more than 730 companies spread across Quebec, 86% of which export abroad, and half of the jobs in the sector are concentrated in Montérégie and Estrie. It is in collaboration with ISEQ – Quebec’s Electronics Systems Industry Cluster of Excellence that we are working together to promote the industry both in Quebec and internationally.

Bromont’s microelectronics expertise has been present in the region for more than 50 years thanks to renowned leaders such as IBM and Teledyne MEMS.

The designation of Bromont as an innovation zone is of crucial importance for Quebec’s electronic systems industry since it confirms the unique and collaborative model inspired by the activities of the largest microelectronics research center in Canada, the Center of Collaboration MiQro Innovation (C2MI), founded more than 12 years ago.

The strategic positioning of the Bromont digital technology innovation zone stands out in several ways.
