Recherche collaborative

Collaborative Research to Boost Innovation.

Every challenge is an opportunity to innovate.

To help businesses develop faster, smarter and in a more competitive way, collaborative research has now become essential. Collaborating with research centres gives businesses access to the knowledge of highly qualified personnel and state-of-the-art equipment, while reducing R&D costs and sharing risks. A winning alliance to innovate more, and innovate better.

Why Collaborative Research?

Collaborative research projects involve the participation of at least one industry partner, working with at least one eligible public research centre.

Collaborative research makes it possible to:

Access and leverage the collective, multidisciplinary intelligence of the sector

Reduce R&D costs (economies of scale, pooling of resources, state-of-the-art equipment and infrastructure, etc.)

Reduce R&D risk (shared costs and benefits)

Take part in the training of highly qualified personnel, and facilitate the recruitment of specialized labour by industry partners

Contribute to the development of business relationships and opportunities
