The ministère du Développement économique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation has a rich and interesting history. It began in 1935, when the mandate of the ministère des Affaires municipales was broadened to include industry and trade, two sectors of increasing importance to the government. In 1943, the ministère de l'Industrie et du Commerce was founded. Over the years, other mandates were grafted onto its mission : technology in 1988, science in 1994, and external trade in 1996. In 1998, the science and technology mandates were entrusted to the ministère de la Recherche, de la Science et de la Technologie, which, in its early days, was charged with devising a scientific policy to bring about a new convergence between universities, industry and government. In 1998, the ministère des Régions was created as a successor to the Secrétariat au développement des régions in order to implement the new policy to support local and regional development, with a view to promoting and assisting the development of the regions and ensuring consistent government action. On April 29, 2003, the Premier announced the creation of the ministère du Développement économique et régional(MDER) out of these four entities. The purpose of the merger was to improve intervention targeting regional businesses and stakeholders by simplifying it and making it more coherent and efficient. In April 2004, "Recherche" was added to the MDER's name. In February 2005, the MDERR was divided into three departments : the ministère du Développement économique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation; the ministère du Tourisme; and the ministère des Affaires municipales et des Régions. 1, record 6, English, - minist%C3%A8re%20du%20D%C3%A9veloppement%20%C3%A9conomique%2C%20de%20l%27Innovation%20et%20de%20l%27Exportation

Le ministère du Développement économique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation a une histoire riche et intéressante. Son histoire s'amorce en 1935 lorsque le ministère des Affaires municipales se voit confier les volets « industrie » et « commerce », qui correspondent alors une à préoccupation gouvernementale de plus en plus présente. C'est en 1943 que le ministère de l'Industrie et du Commerce est fondé. Au fil des années, des mandats enrichissent sa mission. Ainsi, en 1988, s'ajoute le volet « technologie » ; en 1994, le volet « science » ; et en 1996, le volet « commerce extérieur ». En 1998, les mandats relatifs à la science et à la technologie sont confiés au ministère de la Recherche, de la Science et de la Technologie. Remplaçant le Secrétariat au développement des régions, le ministère des Régions est créé en 1998. Le 29 avril 2003, le premier ministre annonce la création du ministère du Développement économique et régional (MDER), constitué à partir de ces quatre ministères et organisme. L'objectif de ce regroupement est de permettre des interventions plus simples, plus cohérentes et plus efficaces auprès des entreprises et des intervenants régionaux. En avril 2004, le nom du Ministère s'enrichit du vocable « Recherche ». En février 2005, le MDERR se scinde en trois ministères : le ministère du Développement économique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation, le ministère du Tourisme et celui des Affaires municipales et des Régions. 1, record 6, French, - minist%C3%A8re%20du%20D%C3%A9veloppement%20%C3%A9conomique%2C%20de%20l%27Innovation%20et%20de%20l%27Exportation
