Investissement Québec

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The company Investissement Québec was established in 1998 under an Act passed by the National Assembly of Quebec to favour investment in Quebec by Quebec-based and international companies.[1] Its registered office is located in Quebec City. In December 2010 it took over the Société générale de financement.[2]

Investissement Québec initially held a 19% stake in the Airbus A220 (formerly Bombardier CSeries) programme.[3] This was increased to 25% in February 2020, at no cash cost to Investissement Québec, as part of a deal that saw Bombardier sell its share to Airbus.[4]

The Société générale de financement (SGF) was a holding company owned by the Government of Quebec. Its mission was to attract investment to Quebec by investing in other companies. Another mission was to promote new small businesses. In December 2010, Bill 123 that planned the merger of the SGF into Investissement Québec received royal assent. The SGF ceased activities on 31 March 2011[5].
