The regions of Québec were assigned niches of excellence as part of the ACCORD (Action concertée de coopération régionale de développement [focused action for regional developmental cooperation]) program, a strategic approach to regional economic development introduced by the Québec government. The purpose of the program is to cluster related economic activities that distinguish each region from the others on an international level. ACCORD corresponds to other competitive centres or “clusters” around the world.
