City of Talent Montreal
An Action Plan for Boosting Employment, Innovation and Skills
Montreal has huge potential to become one of the most dynamic cities across OECD countries,
thanks to its talented and creative population. Yet the city has not demonstrated
outstanding results in terms of job creation and collective wealth generation in the
past few years. This report examines this paradox and suggests new strategies to improve
local outcomes in terms of employment, innovation and skills, and to boost inclusive
economic growth and innovation across the Quebec metropolis.
