About SOFIAC

SOFIAC was set up by Econoler and Fondaction in 2020 with the support of the Quebec government. With $200M in investment capacity structured by Fondaction and Desjardins, its mission is to support companies in the commercial, industrial and multi-residential sectors by developing and investing in their energy transition and building decarbonation projects.
