Research projects

Innovation zones have several important mandates to achieve their wealth creation objectives. One of these objectives is to develop knowledge to propel innovation in companies and, thus, accelerate the commercialization of new products.

Research projects are important for developing a highly qualified workforce. They strengthen the network between research players and industry, thus facilitating the transition from the idea to the market. It is also a tool of choice for attracting talent from here, but also from around the world.

The research projects currently underway in the Technum Québec ecosystem are carried out in particular in collaboration with the University of Sherbrooke, a founding member of the Bromont innovation zone. This strategic collaboration leverages the expertise and advanced infrastructure of the integrated innovation chain, which includes not only the university but also 3IT and C2MI, thus promoting innovation and technological development in the region. Through this synergy, Technum Québec and the University of Sherbrooke work together to push the boundaries of scientific and technological research, aligning their efforts to meet the current and future needs of the industry.

Are you a graduate student looking for a stimulating research project? Consult the list of projects for which 3IT is currently actively recruiting.

New projects, carried out with other Quebec academic partners, will soon be announced.

  • Technum Québec - Zone d'Innovation de Bromont

    Research project SoZI


    The result of a research partnership between universities, businesses, municipal administrations and innovation zones in Quebec, SoZI (for: Social dynamics of innovation zones) is a research project which aims to ensure that stakeholders of innovation adopt social anticipation practices that are inclusive, reflexive and reactive.
