Business in Quebec City
Insurance is a pillar here: iA Financial Group and Beneva are headquartered in the city, and Desjardins is based across the river in Lévis. As Quebec's capital, the city counts the provincial government among its main employers, Old Québec draws tourists year-round, and studios such as Ubisoft Québec and Beenox, along with an optics and photonics cluster, add technology jobs.
Also known as Québec and Ville de Québec.
Where software helps: Quebec City's hotels, restaurants and tour operators face sharp summer and Winter Carnival peaks, and must manage bookings, staff schedules and QST-compliant French-language invoicing without a separate system for each.
