Support for mobilising projects - stream 2

For Quebec businesses working together on ambitious research and development initiatives, securing funding that supports collaboration can be a deciding factor in moving a project forward. The Support for Mobilising Projects – Stream 2 program is designed to help groups of companies pursue joint R&D efforts that push beyond existing market solutions and contribute to the growth of key economic sectors in the province. Backed by the Gouvernement du Québec and delivered through Investissement Québec, this initiative focuses on innovation that has the potential to generate broader industry impact, not just individual company gains.

This stream is particularly relevant for businesses involved in developing or significantly improving products or processes through collaborative projects. Funding is provided as a non-repayable contribution and typically covers a meaningful portion of eligible project costs, often up to about half. When combined with other public funding sources, total government support can reach a substantial share of overall expenses, helping reduce financial risk for participating companies. Projects that demonstrate strong innovation potential and clear benefits for sector development tend to be well aligned with the program’s objectives.

Applications are generally accepted on an ongoing basis for businesses meeting certain requirements and prepared to demonstrate collaboration and innovation. For companies considering a joint R&D project in Quebec, exploring the full details of this program can clarify how it fits with your growth and innovation strategy.
