Le Canada se d<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>marque, donc, pour son co<\/span>\u00fb<\/span>t de la vie abordable, son taux de scolarisation <\/span>\u00e9<\/span>lev<\/span>\u00e9 <\/span>et sa stabilit<\/span>\u00e9 \u00e9<\/span>conomique.

Bien s<\/span>\u00fb<\/span>r, certaines r<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>gions du pays sont plus propices que d<\/span>\u2019<\/span>autres au d<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>marrage d’entreprises.\u00a0<\/span>Se fier <\/span>\u00e0 <\/span>un classement de pays est un peu n<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>buleux pour Philippe Telio, fondateur du International Startup Festival de Montr\u00e9al<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Il vaut mieux s<\/span>\u2019<\/span>int<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>resser sp<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>cifiquement aux villes, selon lui. Les environnements urbains <\/span>\u00e0 <\/span>forte densit<\/span>\u00e9, l\u00e0\u00a0<\/span>o<\/span>\u00f9 <\/span>se trouvent les universit<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>s, sont des \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes\u00a0plus favorables aux startups, rench\u00e9rit Sylvain Carle. Ces grands axes urbains demeurent \u00e9videmment Vancouver, Toronto et Montr<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>al. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sylvain Carle<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Le d<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>fi, selon M. Carle, <\/span>est de b<\/span>\u00e2<\/span>tir une <\/span>\u00e9<\/span>conomie qui soutient les startups<\/i>. Les universit<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>s devraient cons\u00e9quemment\u00a0<\/span>\u00ea<\/span>tre d<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>sign<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>es davantage comme point d<\/span>\u2019<\/span>ancrage pour\u00a0ces <\/span>\u00e9<\/span>cosyst<\/span>\u00e8<\/span>mes, justement. <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>Les <\/span>\u00c9<\/span>tats-Unis ont, encore aujourd<\/span>\u2019<\/span>hui, une importante longueur d<\/span>\u2019<\/span>avance avec la Silicon Valley qui s<\/span>\u2019<\/span>est d<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>velopp<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>e aux c<\/span>\u00f4<\/span>t<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>s de l<\/span>\u2019<\/span>Universit<\/span>\u00e9 <\/span>Stanford, illustre-t-il. Il ne faudrait pas se p<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>ter les bretelles tout de suite!<\/span>\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

Attirer les regards internationaux<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

La croyance populaire voulant\u00a0que\u00a0les Qu<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>b<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>cois soient\u00a0n<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>s pour un petit pain et ne repr<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>senteraient pas, cons\u00e9quemment, un peuple d<\/span>\u2019<\/span>entrepreneurs est de plus en plus d<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>mentie selon Sylvain Carle. Le taux d<\/span>\u2019<\/span>entrepreneuriat, dit-il, est <\/span>\u00e9<\/span>quivalent <\/span>\u00e0 <\/span>la grandeur du pays. <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>Bien s<\/span>\u00fb<\/span>r, le Qu<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>bec a ses d<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>fis, ses lois particuli<\/span>\u00e8<\/span>res et la caract\u00e9ristique<\/span>\u00a0d<\/span>\u2019avoir, en son sein, une m\u00e9tropole\u00a0<\/span>bilingue<\/span>\u00bb<\/span>, ajoute Philippe Telio. <\/span><\/p>\n

C<\/span>\u2019<\/span>est pourquoi Montr<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>al a toujours un petit peu plus de difficult<\/span>\u00e9 \u00e0 <\/span><\/span>attirer les plus grands talents du monde (barri\u00e8re de la langue fran\u00e7aise avec le reste du continent qui est anglophone. NDLR).<\/span> L<\/span>\u2019<\/span>International Startup Festival existe en partie pour cette raison. <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>C<\/span>\u2019<\/span>est un <\/span>\u00e9<\/span>v<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>nement international qui offre aux entrepreneurEs locaux\u00a0une\u00a0belle\u00a0<\/span>occasion de s<\/span>\u2019<\/span>inspirer et d<\/span>\u2019<\/span>apprendre sur ce qui se fait ailleurs dans le monde<\/span>\u00bb<\/span>, pr<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>cise-t-il. Selon ses estimations, 50%<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>des personnes pr<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>sentes au festival cette ann<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>e <\/span>\u00e9<\/span>taient qu<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>b<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>coises. M<\/span>\u00ea<\/span>me proportion du c<\/span>\u00f4<\/span>t<\/span>\u00e9 <\/span>des startups <\/i>inscrites. <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>Une occasion de faire des rencontres pour attirer\u00a0des investisseurs <\/span>\u00e0 <\/span>Montr<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>al<\/span>\u00bb<\/span>, pr\u00e9cise\u00a0Sylvain Carle.<\/span><\/p>\n

S<\/b><\/span>\u2019<\/b><\/span>arrimer aux forces qu<\/b><\/span>\u00e9<\/b><\/span>b<\/b><\/span>\u00e9<\/b><\/span>coises\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Si le Qu<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>bec se distingue du reste du Canada sur plusieurs aspects<\/span> socio-\u00e9conomoiques<\/span>, la question strat\u00e9gique se pose alors: vers quels domaines le Qu\u00e9bec devrait-il\u00a0alors concentrer ses efforts pour tirer son <\/span>\u00e9<\/span>pingle du jeu? Philippe Telio mise d’abord sur le\u00a0culturel et multilingue, <\/span>\u00e0 <\/span>l<\/span>\u2019<\/span>image de Montr<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>al, mais pas exclusivement. Les biotechnologies ne peuvent pas \u00eatre n\u00e9gli\u00e9es<\/span>\u00a0non plus, tout comme le commerce \u00e9lectronique o<\/span>\u00f9 <\/span>des gros joueurs comme Beyond the Rack<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> et la boutique en ligne de v<\/span>\u00ea<\/span>tements pour hommes Frank and Oak<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> ont <\/span>\u00e9<\/span>merg<\/span>\u00e9 <\/span>dans les derni<\/span>\u00e8<\/span>res ann<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>es.<\/span><\/p>\n

Une vision partag\u00e9e par\u00a0Sylvain Carle qui croit, de son c\u00f4t\u00e9, que les entrepreneurs qu<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>b<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>cois devraient avant tout se concentrer sur les forces existantes dans la Belle province. Notamment<\/span>\u00a0dans le secteur de l<\/span>\u2019<\/span>alimentation o\u00f9 l’exemple de<\/span>\u00a0Provender<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0a\u00a0permis de cr<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>er, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 son application novatrice, un lien direct entre les agriculteurs locaux et les chefs de restaurants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Un autre<\/span>\u00a0secteur fort au Qu<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>bec, celui de l’\u00e9nergie, n<\/span>\u2019a pas encore \u00e9t\u00e9 pris d’assaut\u00a0<\/span>par les startups<\/i>. <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>Je suis surpris que ce ne soit pas encore exploit<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>, termine\u00a0Sylvain Carle. Le Qu<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>bec devrait <\/span>\u00ea<\/span>tre un leader mondial l<\/span>\u00e0<\/span>-dedans!<\/span>\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n
