Ambition ME is a suite of financing solutions and support services for Québec mid-market companies. These offerings were designed to support high growth-potential companies requiring between $5 million and $75 million financing in order to take them to their next stage of growth.

“CDPQ has been investing in Québec mid-market companies for decades, allowing us to witness changing needs and emerging trends first hand.

CDPQ tailors its offerings so that these companies can achieve their ambitions.”
