Numerous Québec firms operate in the culture and communications sector. Over the past decade, they have developed appreciably. These firms are contributing significantly to the Québec economy.

To enable them to further develop on international markets, various partners in the financial and cultural sectors have joined forces with the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles du Québec to establish FIDEC, a limited partnership with a capital of CAN $45.5 million. These partners, which share the same confidence in Québec's artistic potential, are pooling their complementary skills in the realms of finance, world markets and key creative trends.
