The Chamber invites you to a conversation with Alexandre Cloutier, President of the Université du Québec, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
Quebec is at a pivotal moment. Labour shortages, technological disruption, pressure on public services, regional development, and productivity challenges are all shaping the province’s future and demanding innovative, practical solutions.
In this context, what role should universities play?
Created in the wake of the Quiet Revolution, the Université du Québec is now present in more than 40 municipalities and sits at the heart of the issues affecting businesses, communities, and institutions across the province. Through talent development, applied research, and innovation, its network is helping address the needs of a rapidly evolving Quebec.
During this discussion, Alexandre Cloutier will share his perspective on the major challenges and opportunities facing Quebec and explain how the Université du Québec is mobilizing its network, researchers, and partners to help deliver solutions.
Join us for a conversation about Quebec’s future, its capacity to innovate, develop talent, and strengthen its prosperity in an increasingly complex and competitive economy.
