Innovation Programme — Component 2 (Programme innovation — Volet 2 / Projets mobilisateurs)
Funds Collaborative innovation work grants for private companies partnering with universities and public research centres on innovative product or process development.
Programme innovation Volet 2 sits under Investissement Québec and funds mobilizing projects that bring private companies together with universities, public research centers, and SMEs to develop innovative products or processes. It is a collaborative R&D route rather than a solo-company award. The program is call-based and currently between cycles, with access limited to a specific appel de projets when one is open. The page does not publish award amounts, but the route is limited to Canadian operations and requires a consortium. French is the documented application language, and the program is scheduled to sunset on March 31, 2027. Its best fit is a private lead that can assemble the right partners and manage a multi-party development effort. Strong applications will have a clear innovation target, a credible division of roles, and enough coordination to move beyond exploratory research into a defined product or process outcome. The program rewards structure and partnership discipline more than broad, unfocused collaboration.
