Montreal, January 25, 2021 — Propulsion Québec, the cluster for electric and intelligent transportation (EIT), is pleased to announce the renewal of the partnership agreement with Langlois Avocats, the largest independent law firm in Quebec, as a strategic partner for 2021.
Propulsion Québec and Langlois Avocats continue their successful collaboration to support innovative Quebec companies in the electric and intelligent transportation ecosystem. Langlois Avocats, the cluster's first partner in 2018, has been involved, among other things, in several events of Propulsion Québec's R&D and Innovation stream, as well as in various policy debates on electric and intelligent transportation, and also at Movin’On 2019.
Renewable on an annual basis, this agreement will allow Langlois Avocats to get involved in the energy transition by supporting Quebec initiatives for transportation electrification and intelligent mobility solutions, essential to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to the fight against change. Through its legal expertise related to energy and natural resources, as well as in technology, Langlois Avocat is a strategic partner for the cluster's 2021 projects, notably for carrying out a study on financing the electric and intelligent transportation sector.
Today, by renewing its status as a partner of Propulsion Québec, Langlois Avocats strengthens its support for the EIT ecosystem and participates not only in the electrification of Quebec's economy, but also in creating the mobility of tomorrow.
