I am fully committed to strengthening the mobilization of the ecosystem in order to accelerate the decarbonization of transportation, stimulate innovation and amplify the success of our companies," declared Alexis Laprés-Paradis.
Joining Propulsion Québec in April 2023, Alexis Laprés-Paradis has held a number of strategic positions, including Vice President, Development and Operations.
