Garage&co: pioneer of hardtech innovation

Garage&co is the catalyst for hardtech innovation in Quebec. We choose to work on hard problems, not because they are easy, but because they are crucial.

Who We Are?

Our mission is to build a collaborative platform that fosters the development and growth of the hardtech ecosystem in Quebec and Canada. For startups, we offer customized support covering all stages of product development, prioritizing a local, sustainable, and responsible approach.

We work closely with ecosystem stakeholders, from companies to investors, to strengthen financing, investment, and collaboration opportunities.

Hardtech, n.

Hardtech, short for Hardware technology, encompasses technologies materialized as physical products, requiring design, manufacturing, and integration with software. These technologies offer sustainable solutions to global challenges that software alone cannot address.

Our Values

Believe in the entrepreneur

We exist to help our founders (startups, scale-ups) push the boundaries of their industry. Everything we undertake must serve the success of our entrepreneurs.

Pursue excellence

Excellence means always pushing oneself to give their best. Whether in our meetings, project follow-ups, or ability to incorporate feedback, we always aim for quality.

Sharpen entrepreneurial spirit

We must dare to explore new paths boldly, transform challenges into opportunities, and learn from every experience without fearing failure.

Cultivate hospitality

We strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed, supported, and valued, almost like at home. This human warmth is also reflected in our interactions with our community.
