Easy access to 35% of the North American population
Entrepreneurs who do business in Quebec City can tap into to a regional market of more than 1,000,000 people � the seventh-largest metropolitan area in Canada. The region�s strategic location also provides direct access to the north-eastern U.S. � one of the most lucrative markets in the world!
"Transportation infrastructure is one of the Quebec City region�s lesser-known advantages. The St. Lawrence corridor is a major asset for anyone in the import-export business. In addition, the road network is extremely well developed, with direct links to the rest of Canada and the U.S."
Florent Bélanger, President/CEO, Orphée
The Quebec City region�s 2,800-mile road network links directly with the U.S. border states, the Atlantic provinces and the rest of Canada.
