Capitale Numérique

What Capitale Numérique does

Capitale Numérique is a Quebec City-based non-profit organization (OBNL) founded in July 2024 and officially launched in October 2024 to animate Quebec's digital ecosystem following the closure of Québec numérique. It operates as the successor body to the Web à Québec and Semaine numériQC events, which it has rebranded as Interface - Québec (a celebration of digital creative professions) and Rendez-vous numérique (a B2B-oriented event for decision-makers and managers), both held annually at the Terminal de croisières du Port de Québec. In 2026 the organization extended its product surface with the launch of the Corridors – entre deux conférences podcast, designed to sustain community engagement between the flagship events.

The organization runs on a hybrid revenue model combining event ticket sales (550 CAD individual / 750 CAD enterprise 6-pack for Interface - Québec 2026), corporate partnerships and sponsorships (with named partners including Microsoft, Shopify, Mila, EY, Fasken, and iA Groupe financier), and direct municipal funding from Ville de Québec via the Vision Entrepreneuriale Québec 2026/2030 programs (200,000 CAD in 2025 and 350,000 CAD in 2026 against a 2.1M CAD total project value). Operating capacity is provided by a lean core team of three staff, an eight-member board of directors, and 40-200+ annual volunteers.

Operationally, the organization is event-driven and community-led, drawing 2,500 participants from 900+ companies in its first year and producing 650 B2B meetings and 150 conferences. It has generated 1.5M CAD in local economic spinoffs with a stated 7.5x leverage ratio on municipal investment, was named a 2026 Fidélides finalist in the Entreprise collective category, and signed an international Responsible Digital Charter with Nantes-based partners (Printemps Numérique, La Cantine, La Cité des Congrès de Nantes) in September 2025. The underlying technology stack is minimal and non-proprietary, consisting of a Framer-built website, HubSpot CRM, ti.to ticketing, and Google Drive for data storage, with no disclosed API, mobile application, or AI/ML capabilities.
