Synergie Montréal

Driven by PME MTL Est-de-l’Île, Synergie Montréal is an economic development initiative aimed at optimizing the use of resources within the territory Montréal via the circular economy.

Synergie Montréal creates an ecosystem that provides Montréal businesses with an opportunity to implement various strategies related to the circular economy. The initiative was introduced in 2014 to stimulate the local economy and develop the potential of businesses through the application of ecoresponsible business solutions.

In keeping with the socioeconomic transition movement, Synergie Montréal receives support from Ville de Montréal and the Québec Government.
