PRIMA Québec is the advanced materials research and innovation hub that supports and promotes the advanced materials ecosystem and acts as an engine of innovation and economic growth in Quebec.
It is a leading catalyst between the industrial and research communities. Acting as a sectoral industrial research group (SIRG), PRIMA Québec relies on financial support from the Quebec government and the private sector to promote research/industry relations.
“Advanced” materials offer both physical and functional performance improvements over materials that are more commonly used. They help create a substantial amount of progress and competitiveness. Without an interest in advanced materials, your company will miss out on major development opportunities. In our high value added economy, companies must stand out with greater productivity and originality in product design. They must seek constant innovation using stronger, lighter, smarter and greener materials.
From clothing to industrial equipment, from medicine to space exploration, advanced materials are ubiquitous. For example, advanced materials will one day help repair human tissue, increase the efficiency of telecommunication networks, provide energy storage systems adapted to remote regions, and reduce the formation of ice on power lines
The advanced materials industry is spearheading efforts in Quebec, with over 470 companies in all but a few regions, more than 45,000 jobs directly related to the industry, along with sales figures estimated at more than $14 billion. The sector currently exports 80% of its production and plays a strategic role in various economic sectors while contributing to the achievement of carbon neutrality objectives.
PRIMA Québec offers support, project financing and access to cutting-edge equipment, along with all related expertise, while promoting the advanced materials ecosystem as a whole. The PRIMA Québec team is eager to share its solid support network of stakeholders from here and elsewhere. The numbers speak for themselves.
