The Québec Government Office in New York covers eight states in the Mid-Atlantic and beyond, including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, West Virginia and Kentucky. Over 60 million Americans (20% of the U.S. population) live in this region, which stretches from New York, Philadelphia and Washington to the Appalachian Mountains.
Québec has developed successful partnerships throughout this region. For instance, transportation materials providers NovaBus and Bombardier have manufacturing facilities in Upstate New York, through which they supply major customers such as New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Information technology giant CGI has its U.S. headquarters in Virginia as well as offices throughout the region.
In addition, Québec has developed research partnerships in the region. Québec’s top researchers in the life sciences have won grants from the National Institutes of Health. Hydro-Québec’s research institute also has an ongoing collaboration with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the State University of New York – Albany.
Québec’s artists have also made major inroads in the region, wowing U.S. audiences with the originality of their work. Robert Lepage has directed The Damnation of Faust at the Metropolitan Opera and will direct the entire Ring cycle, which will be presented at the Met in the spring of 2012 and 2013. In 2009, conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin made an acclaimed debut at the Met and Avery Fisher Hall, and Les Violons du Roy gave one of the most stirring renditions in recent years of Handel’s Messiah and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio at Carnegie Hall. In 2010, Montréal – based Cirque du Soleil will be presenting three shows in New York - Ovo, Banana Shpeel and Wintuk.
From music to dance to theatre and visual arts, Québec’s culture is one of its best calling cards in the Northeastern U.S. and around the world.
In a word, whether it’s business, culture, higher education or research, Québec has developed valuable alliances with partners throughout the Mid-Atlantic – and beyond.
