Funding programs

The goal of the CRIBIQ research program is to co-finance innovative collaborative research projects involving enterprises and public research institutes that share a common interest in the development of bio-based products. Funding of such projects by CRIBIQ is provided in the form of non-reimbursable financial contributions granted by Quebec’s Ministry of Economy and Innovation (MEI).

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH

113th call for projects – PARTENAR-IA | Collaborative Industrial Research

The strength of Quebec's artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem is no coincidence. Indeed, thanks to its leadership and breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence, the province is favourably positioned at the heart of this great industrial revolution.

By working closely with the industry, Quebec's public research institutes (QPRIs) are actively participating in the development of innovation in artificial intelligence. Thus, in addition to offering organizations and researchers know-how and access to costly and not easily accessible cutting-edge infrastructures, QPRIs mobilize their expertise to ensure that all sectors of the bioeconomy benefit from the sharing of this knowledge.

It is thus within the framework of the Call for Innovation Projects in Artificial Intelligence launched by the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy (MEIE) that CRIBIQ will support, through its PARTENAR-IA | Collaborative Industrial Research program, the public research institutes of Quebec working in collaboration with the companies during the various stages of assembly and realization of their innovative AI projects.

112th call for projects – SPO-Industrial Bioproducts & Environment II

The industrial bioproducts sector includes bioenergy (liquid, solid, and gaseous biofuels), materials, and biobased chemicals. As for the environment sector, the CRIBIQ aims to set up projects related to bioremediation, effluent treatment, and waste recovery.
