Highlight – Reactions following the partnership announcement |
The announcement of a partnership between SAFEC and the FCCQ and their decision to pool their resources and networks, in order to offer a significant added value to all Quebec businesses, was warmly welcomed by Quebec entrepreneurs.
We were most thrilled about the reaction from the chambers of commerce to whom we had already presented the advantages and benefits available to them and their members within the framework of this partnership.
Following the presentation, the attending chambers of commerce confirmed that the tools and services developed by SAFEC were needed to better fulfill their mission and to increase the added value offered to members. This was one of the highest compliments we had the pleasure of receiving.

- Users will eventually be able to specify certain criteria relative to the type of information they wish to receive on their programs of interest.
We invite you to read our next Newsletter or visit www.safec.ca regularly for more details regarding the launch and operation of the Alert Report.

What our subscribers
say about SAFEC: |

Robert Longtin,
Founder and President, eSpaceListings |
"In 2011, I needed to find funding for my expansion project. I told myself that if SAFEC's tool really worked, it was my best option and so I subscribed.
With the help of the Support Service, I followed the steps to successfully collect 4 subsidies: 2 to hire employees and 2 for consulting services. I also received funding for the development of my new website. I renewed my subscription and SAFEC is now an integral tool for my business."
