Innovation at industrial speed

Exploiting the full potential of industrial innovation centers

Government and business need allies who can harness science and technology in the most cost-effective way for the economy. Academic knowledge, concepts and patents need to lead to industrialized solutions as soon as possible to generate value. This is precisely where industrial innovation centers play a pivotal role in the innovation chain.

They transform knowledge into industrialized, commercialized solutions that generate economic benefits for industry and society.

Investing in the development of a stratum of specialized industrial innovation centers bridging the gap between academia and industry is a strategic choice for the transition to a prosperous green economy.

Given the combined academic and industrial backgrounds of their experts, these centers are able to identify solutions based on a detailed understanding of technologies and industrial needs, and thus reduce the risks associated with developing innovative solutions.

They are also helping to train a generation of industrial researchers who, over the course of their careers, will be able to move on to the business world and increase the skills of Quebec’s innovation receptor communities.

Together, let’s speed up the recovery and boost our economy

Let’s work together to transform local knowledge into new, beneficial solutions that are adopted by markets, so that our companies can express their full potential while generating even greater economic, environmental and societal value. By developing vigorous industrial innovation centers, we’ll give our companies the R&D strength they need to innovate effectively. Together, let’s help our companies grow, succeed in commercialization, manufacture more here and export around the world. Together, let’s make Quebec an even more innovative society, and accelerate the transition to an ever-greener economy.

Sustainable results and growth
