The geographical location of the Agglomération de Longueuil, its critical mass of intelligent and sustainable transportation businesses and its high-quality infrastructure offer businesses in these sectors undeniable benefits.

Just a 30-minute drive from the U.S. border, our strategic location means that businesses can reach the major American industrial centres in less than 24 hours. As part of the Maritimes-Quebec-Ontario corridor (east-west axis), the agglomeration serves as a transit zone for road and rail transportation that crosses through the Montreal region via the Champlain Bridge, the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine Tunnel or Highway 30, which bypasses the island of Montreal. It is also strategically located on the north-south axis that connects eastern Canada to the northeastern United States.

Due to its strategic location between Canada, the United States and Europe, 110 million consumers can be served by train or truck within 48 hours.

Furthermore, businesses in our area benefit from various drivers of innovation, including:

• IVÉO, an innovation ecosystem dedicated to experimenting with new technologies in the intelligent and sustainable transportation sector and the smart city applied to mobility;
• The Cargo M Cluster, which brings together all the players in the logistics and freight transportation sector in Greater Montreal around common objectives and concerted actions to increase cohesion, competitiveness, growth and influence.
