\u201cThe electric and smart transportation niche has incredible economic and technological potential, and the city has a unique opportunity to take its place in that niche,\u201d said Michel Leblanc, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal. \u201cWe have everything we need to make our presence felt: a critical core of technology talent and businesses, a concentration of global leaders in artificial intelligence, and, of course, world-renowned creativity. The Chamber is proud to release this study, which is a starting point for this essential reflection process. We encourage industry decision makers and actors to read it. We all need to adopt the avenues for action it identifies to enable local businesses to develop the mobility innovations and solutions of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\u201cThe future of mobility is connected, autonomous, shared, electric vehicles,\u201d said Sarah Houde, CEO of Propulsion Qu\u00e9bec. \u201cThis study shows that Quebec has assets to distinguish itself in these niches. We need to leverage Quebec\u2019s recognized expertise in electrification and the pool of innovative businesses in land transportation. But our success in this changing sector requires an agile regulatory framework, adapted to both the current technological context and our ambitions. The study provides an analytical tool for the best ways to support the deployment and commercialization of transportation innovations. Propulsion Qu\u00e9bec is determined to bring together industry stakeholders to make Quebec the ultimate place to develop, test and implement new mobility technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
