INNOV-R multi-sector call for projects

In November 2020, the Quebec government announced its Plan for a Green Economy 2030 (PEV 2030 ).With its framework policy for electrification and the fight against climate change, the government wants to make the fight against climate change a major lever for economic development and international influence. To this end, it will rely on the electrification of the economy, the development of other renewable energy resources, as well as the emergence of promising economic sectors that create quality jobs. The Innov-R program is part of this vast initiative and targets the emergence of innovative collaborative projects that will enable Quebec to more quickly achieve its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction objectives.

The INNOV-R Program is financed by the Electrification and Climate Change Fund (FECC) and the amounts are administered by the Ministry of Economy and Innovation (MEI). The purpose of the program is to allow the realization of collaborative research projects with a high potential for reducing GHGs in Quebec, the spinoffs of which will help Quebec achieve its medium and long-term reduction objectives and targets, in particular for 2030, which is set at 37.5% below the 1990 level.

The INNOV-R program is deployed by the Industrial Research Sector Groups (RSRI), which have been designated by the Government of Quebec to act as intermediation and funding organizations for collaborative research. Through their mandate, they promote the transfer of knowledge and the appropriation of innovation by businesses in various key sectors of the economy.
