I agree with Felipe. This is great news for VCs but I’m not sure how this will affect entrepreneurs. Some of us aren’t on the bleeding edge–meaning that we have existing companies that generate actual revenues. ;)

I would drop $100,000 on new staff, design, and coding TOMORROW if expansion funding was available to my company. That mightn’t sound very innovative but we need to think strategically as a market by pulling in as much revenue into Quebec as possible from the outside world.

It’s true that tech epicentres like California and Israel are kicking ass. It’s because they are mobilized and organized. I can only wish the same for Montreal & Quebec in the future.

I’d like to echo Felipe’s comments. We also need to build a spirit of ambition and success that doesn’t rely so heavily on R&D tax credits, mutlimedia credits, e-anything credits, etc. We’re drowning in high taxes, lots of tax credits, and in the middle a mountain of paperwork. Not doing such a great job at letting entrepreneurs and creative developers do what they’re best at.

So… 40 comments so far… I guess that would make me the +1 !

For several reasons, I believe that Quebec will yield a tech industry that will be in the top 5 in the world.

It’s time to drive the Quebec tech start-up truck right into the big leagues!

Teralys will be great. I hope every country will have this kind of development. Also, I hope Teralys will introduce or develop green technology.

Pretty sure Sebastien and Paul will make a strong case with me for a vibrant local tech startup écosystème!
