THE INDUSTRIAL EXPERTISE CENTRE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION WITHIN MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES
The Québec City Industrial Expertise Centre (IEC) proposes to optimize your business’s performance in the context of digital transformation.
Our goal is to make sure that your decisions, actions and key processes all reach the full potential that digital transformation can offer.
Your business will ultimately increase its efficiency, productivity and competitive edge.
Regional acceleration and development space
The Regional Acceleration and Development Spaces (RADS) offers services to entrepreneurs and economic development stakeholders, taking into account the unique characteristics of the region.
RADSs are places of convergence, facilitation, monitoring, reflection and joint intervention, where the business, academic and government sectors come together to promote and support innovation and business growth.
Their mission is to:
- support business acceleration,
- promote the development of new, innovative projects,
- bring together regional stakeholders to ensure entrepreneurs have access to the services that meet their needs,
- help instill a culture of innovation.
In addition to the mission and mandate entrusted to us by the Ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Énergie, as the RADS for the Capitale-Nationale region, we:
- refer entrepreneurs and stakeholders to the appropriate support services based on their growth, acceleration and innovation needs,
- promote innovation as well as best business practices that are both sustainable and environmentally friendly,
provide opportunities for businesses to improve their performance, innovate, boost their competitiveness and take part in their region’s dynamism.
Envision tomorrow now
A new industrial era is on our doorstep and is strongly focused on green technology and development priorities that are respectful of communities. Carbon-neutral objectives are essential, and the place of humans becomes once again the centre of attention.
What will be the impacts of this on local businesses? How can you take your place and assert yourself in this new context?
Our team reflects on these questions and innovates with you.
