Située en Montérégie et à proximité de Montréal (à 40,7 km du pont-tunnel Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine), la région de Saint-Hyacinthe vous convie à la découverte du mariage parfait des milieux rural et urbain.

Véritable grenier du Québec, ce magnifique coin de pays est réputé pour la richesse de ses terres et l'abondance de ses récoltes. La région est traversée dunord au sud par la rivière Yamaska et, en son centre, la ville de Saint-Hyacinthe en constitue le coeur.

Tout ce qui gravite autour de l'industrie agroalimentaire occupe une place primordiale dans l'activité économique de la région, ce qui lui vaut le titre de capitale de l'agroalimentaire au Québec en plus de lui donner accès comme membre de plein droit et ce, dès 1993 - une première au Canada - au prestigieux Club international des technopoles. On y trouve un parc scientifique axé sur l'agroalimentaire, un Centre de la nouvelle économie (CNE) et, en émergence, une véritable Cité de la biotechnologie.
