A SHORT HISTORY OF PÔLE PÔLE Québec Chaudière-Appalaches
is a strategy-minded organization active in economic development. PÔLE Québec Chaudière-Appalaches
resulted from the merging of four prominent organizations in the Economic ZONE:
- Cité de l’optique (Québec Optics City)
- Émergence Entrepreneur
- GATIQ (Groupe d’action pour l’avancement technologique et industriel de la région de Québec—Chaudière-Appalaches )
- SPEQM (Greater Québec Economic Development Corporation)
In 2002, following the mergers of all municipalities in the greater Québec City area, provincial and municipal authorities, along with the business community agreed to create this new, dynamic structure, in step with the times.
