A Hub for Research and Development
 With almost 200 research centers and not fewer than 1,500 institutions active in R&D, metro Montreal is home to the largest research complex in all of Canada. What’s more, among all Canadian universities, the Montreal region ranks first in funds earmarked for research due to the
presence of its eleven university institutions, four of
which are considered major universities.
With its high concentration of researchers in the leading sectors, such as multimedia, biotechnology, pharmacology and information technology, metro Montreal has become an internationally acclaimed hub for research and development. It’s no wonder that companies in the region have acquired solid expertise and developed cutting-edge products that are renowned worldwide.
The importance of research and development is recognized by the Québec and Canadian governments. Both levels of government encourage this sector by offering generous incentives, such as tax credits and tax holidays, among others.
In Montreal more than anywhere, R&D is the research engine of the knowledge-based economy!
