The Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, and more particularly Val-d’Or, have been the beneficiaries of incentives for economic development provided by the different levels of government.

Whether it be the Local Development Centre (CLD), the Québec Employment Centre (CLE), the Canadian Ministry of Economic Development (DEC), the Community Development Aid Agency (SADC), the Industrial & Commercial Development Corporation of Val-d’Or, Innocentre Region, Innovatech, Capital-Access, the Regional Diversification Fund, the Québec Ministry of Industry & Commerce (MIC), the Development Bank of Canada (BDC), the different government ministries and departments, the Val-d’Or Chamber of Commerce, Human Resources Canada,…there’s really no lack of available development-support; all these agencies have one main thing in common: the desire to see successfully established, in the region, flourishing small, medium, and large-size businesses. By working with these development-support cadres, you will be in a much better position to establish favourable development-parameters, since most of these agencies have, as their specific mandate, the acceleration of regional economic-development and, as a consequence, the furthering of economic diversification throughout the region.
