The Quebec government is shelling out almost $25 million for businesses looking to enter the future.

Economy and Innovation Minister Pierre Fitzgibbon announced that the CAQ government will release $24.6 million to support eight projects under the Digital Transformation Offensive (OTN).

The money is meant to help 2,000 businesses in the province make a digital shift, and raise awareness of going digital for around 6,000 others. 

"Today, we are continuing the implementation of this initiative by collaborating with new associations that master the issues and challenges of their sector, which will allow us to properly meet the needs of SMEs (small and medium-sized businesses).
