Why a space
Perséis?

 

Scientific entrepreneurs have strong potential for innovation in Quebec, due to their proximity to cutting-edge technologies, their creativity, and their analytical and experimental skills.

the results are available, but scattered and used piecemeal to guide Quebec innovation practices, and often without any systematic transfer of tools to practical environments.

It is in this context that the Fonds de recherche du Québec and MAIN decided to combine their expertise and strengths to create Perséis, in collaboration with the research community and Quebec's entrepreneurial ecosystem.

  • promote collaboration among stakeholders in innovative and scientific entrepreneurship from diverse cultures
  • developing collaborative, sustainable research initiatives based on real-world needs
  • support and equip the ecosystem for Quebec society
