In an effort to facilitate its use when developing new applications, the Infrastructure en recherche et développement du Québec (IRDQ) [Quebec research and development infrastructure] portal brings together worldclass facilities and state-of-the-art equipment from universities, college technology transfer centres (CTTC), and public research centres. The IRDQ’s objective is to provide the entire industrial community with access to cutting edge facilities, as well as Quebec’s expertise, and to promote collaboration in research activities.
This includes more than $400 million in state of-the-art equipment across Quebec, along with the associated expertise, made available for companies to help them develop their projects while pushing their innovations forward. Over the years, hundreds of submissions have strengthened ties between research and industry in an effort to meet new technological challenges while developing multiple applications faster and more efficiently.
Bringing together a wide range of services, the IRDQ’s one-stop shop will help you identify the needs that surround your innovation projects, along with the required technological methods (equipment and expertise). It can offer solutions adapted to those needs while seeking out the best available partners. Under a single roof, you will receive access to project managers from IRDQ member laboratories, along with project quality monitoring services. Your level of satisfaction will also be monitored throughout the project.
With services offered free of charge, the IRDQ has been at the heart of Quebec’s collaborative innovation ecosystem for many years. It provides strategic resources to propel innovation, right at your fingertips. No longer will you spend countless hours searching for cutting-edge expertise; our directory is easy to access and has a proven track record. Such collaborations could even lead to long-term research partnerships.
