Here are some announcements that caught our attention these past few weeks and that helped promote the Québec City region’s ingenuity, creativity or determination internationally.
Coractive
Coractive specializes in the design and manufacture of optical fibre for industrial applications. To help maintain its position as a leader in its field, Coractive recently announced an investment of over $34M to build a new production facility, which will also become its head office, in the Espace d’innovation Michelet. This project, supported in part by our team, has received media attention throughout the world.
