Why Quebec City SMEs choose AI automation
Quebec City is unique in Canada: insurance capital with 12 insurer head offices (4 among the country's top 10), public sector hub, and fast-growing tech center with the Parc technologique du Québec métropolitain (~100 companies, 6,000 workers). Over 21,000 employer businesses operate in the region, and most face a paradox — a booming economy with Canada's highest GDP per capita growth (+43.4%), but an almost impossible-to-find workforce. Unemployment at 2.6% forces businesses to rethink operations.
