Thank you for your question, Mr. Ste-Marie.
I have a great example for you. The first unicorn in Quebec is Lightspeed, a company that makes us all very proud.
The founder of Lightspeed is from British Columbia. He moved to Quebec and decided to expand his company there. He had a hard time finding the necessary talent in his scale-up phase. He even had to recruit people from abroad to complete his management team. That's where the issue lies. When you don't have a scale-up platform, you don't have the talent at home, and you must go abroad to find it.
Through the scale-up platform, we want to help our start-up founders go abroad to find the missing talent, until we can create that talent at home.
As companies such as Lightspeed are created, this expertise is also created. Suddenly, we have people who can help other start-ups become scale-up companies and perhaps, who knows, unicorns.
This is a perfect example of the trickle-down effect of all the expertise and economic benefits that stem from a success story such as Lightspeed.
There are many other examples, and we're here to create even more.
