What it's about
Coordinated access to defense markets
The Québec Defense Transport Access Initiative (ADTQ) is jointly led by Propulsion Québec and Aéro Montréal, in collaboration with STIQ, with financial support from Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED).
It helps Québec companies in electric and intelligent land transportation (EIT) and aerospace better understand, prepare for, and accelerate their entry into defense markets, in Canada and allied countries.
Defense markets offer significant growth opportunities, but they also come with specific requirements around procurement, security, compliance, positioning, and business development. ADTQ brings together different forms of support to help companies assess their potential, target relevant opportunities, and build relationships with key players in the sector.
