Sans titre 73

The brief

Innovitech worked in close collaboration with Aéro Montréal to carry out a strategic study and help set up the Aero Zone, a collaborative innovation ecosystem aimed at increasing business productivity, creating new high value-added businesses and accelerating the passage of ideas to market.​

Through sustained support based on close collaboration between Innovitech and Aéro Montréal, the aim was to enlighten decision-makers as to the relevance and viability of the innovation zone and the possible harmonisation with its environment. The development of this collaborative zone places a major emphasis in Quebec’s aerospace industry on decarbonising the environment, electrification, autonomous transport, the digital transition, as well as advanced manufacturing and innovative materials.
