Numana is a Quebec based not-forprofit organization (NPO) and acts as a macro-accelerator by creating, promoting and energizing ICT technology ecosystem projects. In this endeavour, Numana brings together ecosystems composed of companies using technologies and technology providers (hardware, software and applications), public organisations, and research and test centers to foster positive economical and social impacts for the province of Quebec.
Our goal is to accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge technologies in Quebec through think tank studies driven by committees where experts discuss emerging ICTs or disruptive models, and through the development of living laboratories or pilot projects that follow the committees’ vision and strategies.
Numana stands out:
Our unique Think Tank in Quebec allows us to have a 360-degree look at emerging technologies related to ICT and digital technology. This leads us to imagine the future of our ecosystems and to find answers to the needs of society:
• By conducting research and analysis to identify technologies that will impact Quebec in the coming years
• By preparing test environments for these technologies to foster the development of new ecosystems
• By raising awareness and supporting entrepreneurs in the research and development phases of their solutions
Recent achievements:
During summer 2022, we published our study on quantum technologies in Quebec as well as announced the opening in 2023 of a neutral quantum telecommunications network open to experimentation for both the academia and companies.
Our SymbiotiQ platform to promote the discoverability of technological solutions in Quebec and allow more networking between Quebec companies.
The return of our annual Humanitek events to promote the work and and results from our think tanks.
The launch of our podcast “Emerging Technologies” to better understand the technologies studied in Numana think tanks and their potential impacts on society with expert interviews.
Supporting high-impact organizations in the field of caregiving (L’Appui and Lucilab) to help them develop projects as part of their digital transformation.
