Stade V: Empowering Québec’s scale-ups for global success
Growing a tech company in Québec is a challenge we experience every day at flovver. To succeed, you need more than good ideas, you need the right conditions and a strong ecosystem. That’s exactly what motivated us to take part in the Québec Tech initiative: bringing real-world challenges to the table and working together on concrete solutions to help local businesses go even further.
Key Takeaways From This Initiative
What stood out for us was the quality of the discussions and the shared determination to move the ecosystem forward. The challenges are real, but Québec is full of strengths: highly skilled talent, a supportive community, and privileged access to strategic markets. By sharing our reality as a fintech startup, we realized how much our challenges are shared by many other young tech companies.
Where flovver stands today
Our involvement with Québec Tech didn’t stop with the publication of the report. Since being selected for the Stade V program, we’ve benefited from a structured, targeted support system designed specifically for high-growth companies, the so-called scale-ups.
The goal
Strengthen our ability to compete on global markets and accelerate our growth, while building the right networks and accessing the tools we need.
So far, this has translated into:
✔️ Structuring for sustainable growth
Easier access to strategic resources: market data, legal support, sales development… plus practical support through an advisory committee that helps us make the right strategic decisions.
✔️ Gaining visibility and credibility
Targeted connections with key players, both locally and internationally, and concrete actions to strengthen Flovver’s reputation: video features, media exposure, and visibility with strategic funding partners.
✔️ Positioning on the right markets
Access to industry experts, personalized coaching, and participation in select international trade missions to accelerate our commercial development, here and abroad.
This type of tailored support makes a real difference for a startup like ours, operating in a highly competitive and strategic sector like financial technology.
A Strategic support to accelerate growth
The final report highlights these realities, but more importantly, it outlines concrete recommendations to help build an ecosystem that is more agile, competitive, and inclusive. We’re proud to have contributed to this initiative.
