Sébastien Garbarino, Coordinator Horizon Europe for RSRI Québec, explains how Industrial Research Sector Groups are helping to accelerate research and innovation in Québec.
To follow up on the contribution from the Québec Government in the December 2024 edition of The Innovation Platform, and illustrate the deep collaborative vision of the Québec government to support industrial innovation, this article will explore RSRI Québec (Industrial Research Sector Groups) and offer a deep dive into the diverse Québec innovation ecosystems, constantly supported by the historical contribution of these RSRI which already bridge Europe and North America.
RSRI is supporting Québec organisations to connect, animate, support, fund, manage, communicate, and disseminate about collaborative projects between industry and public research centres based throughout the whole province. Each strategic industrial sector is levelled up by a corresponding RSRI, with some transversal ones to improve and ensure transdisciplinary projects.
