Can I talk to someone at the SADC about an idea for a project?

We love to hear about ALL business projects! If your project isn’t yet defined, if you don’t have a project summary and you still need to work out the details of your idea, please consult our partners and our toolbox.

Can the SADC help find me a business location?

If you apply for financing, we will work with you to evaluate project feasibility based on the location, however we do not offer a business locator service. To learn about more available opportunities, you can contact Chambers of Commerce, industrial parks, or urban and economic development departments in the targeted municipalities.

You can also consult the website of La Manufacture, business incubator and accelerator located in Sainte-Agathe.
