The Government of Quebec, as part of the Digital Transformation Offensive<\/strong> (OTN) program of the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy (MEIE), has granted a financial contribution of $5.6 million to support the “Technology and Knowledge Transfer Program for Industry for Smart, Digital and Sustainable Innovation” of the SDG Network (Smart-Digital-Green)<\/strong> Innovation (RSDGI) (https:\/\/www.sdginnovnetwk.com\/fr). The latter was created in 2019 by eight Quebec universities with a view to meeting industrial needs requiring inter-university collaboration in R&D as well as the training of highly qualified personnel to support the digital transformation. Professors Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Audy (Management) and Neila El Asli (Engineering) are UQTR’s co-leaders at the RSDGI. <\/span><\/p>\n

For this second internal call for projects, in collaboration with the R\u00e9seau qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de l’\u00e9nergie intelligente (RQEI), the total envelope available to UQTR is $199,500 and must mobilize partnership research with at least 6 SMEs. The objective of the MEIE is to support the transfer of developments resulting from research projects to partner SMEs in order to obtain short-term benefits for them in terms of productivity, performance and competitiveness gains. <\/span><\/p>\n
