Program 2024-25 127^th Call for projects

INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE BIOECONOMY SECTORS

In the midst of the industrial revolution of artificial intelligence (AI), Quebec finds itself in a favorable position, and the strength of its ecosystem is no coincidence.

In Quebec, several innovation centers work closely with the industry, research institutes, and universities, specializing in AI. They can leverage their expertise to benefit all sectors of the bioeconomy. These organizations provide companies and researchers with knowledge and access to cutting-edge, expensive, and less accessible infrastructures.

In this context, CRIBIQ is launching a Call for innovative projects in artificial intelligence. Through this call, we will support collaborative R&D projects between companies and research centers to achieve the following objectives:

• Improve the competitiveness of companies through the adoption of AI;
• Encourage collaborations between companies (of all sizes, including startups) and with research and innovation communities to accelerate the integration of AI technologies in business environments and, consequently, in society;
• Support structuring projects aimed at the massive adoption of AI in one or more economic sectors;
• Support the realization of projects leading to significant and immediate economic benefits;
• Ensure the development and consolidation of innovation efforts in the field of AI;
• Contribute to positioning Quebec as a leader in AI development.
