For 20 years, Prompt, an industrial research sectoral group (Regroupement sectoriel de recherche industrielle – RSRI) mandated by the Québec Government, has been reinforcing collaboration and funding high-impact R&D projects. We are pioneers of collaborative innovation model, where front-line entrepreneurial players work with stakeholders in science and academia to invent the future – together.

Our team of experts in this network and in innovation skillfully brings together vital ingredients to create innovative, inspiring and high-impact projects. Our efforts make a rich ecosystem of research-driven universities, local businesses, and large global corporations.

Through the meetings and collaborative spaces that are created, we empower people to make their dreams a reality, while building local expertise, including through workforce training, and creating long-term wealth.
