ABOUT CDAP-QUEBEC
To help Canadian businesses be even more innovative and creative in the e-commerce arena, to enable them to capture their target customer base and be more competitive, the Government of Canada has created the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP). This program is being implemented in Quebec through a strategic alliance between the Réseau des Sociétés d’aide au développement des collectivités and the Centres d’aide aux entreprises (SADCs & CAEs) and the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec (FCCQ) to strengthen their joint mission of supporting regional economic development.
The Grow Your Business Online Grant
The Government of Canada has partnered with the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec (FCCQ) and the Réseau des Sociétés d’aide au développement des collectivités et Centres d’aide aux entreprises (SADCs and CAEs) to offer the Develop Your Online Business grant to small businesses across the province.
PROGRAM PARTNERS
The network brings together 57 Sociétés d’aide au développement des collectivités (SADCs) and 10 Centres d’aides aux entreprises (CAEs), that have been working for over 40 years in the economic development of regions of Quebec. More specifically, 400 professionals and more than 600 volunteers assist and finance each year nearly 10,000 entrepreneurs and 2,000 collective projects for successful communities. SADCs and CAEs provide entrepreneurs with personalized assistance, as well as flexible funding solutions suited to respond to their needs. Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions provides financial support to SADCs and CAEs.
