Innovation and R&D
Whether it's to create Quebec-made batteries, charging infrastructure, connected and autonomous vehicles, or to promote simulation and testing environments, Propulsion Québec stimulates the most promising development opportunities, with the goal of multiplying the commercial successes of companies in the electric and smart transportation (EST) sector.
Research and development are also essential for innovation and the electrification of transportation. To design smart infrastructure, create strategic partnerships and ensure a sustainable energy transition, Quebec can count on a dynamic ecosystem and leverage partnerships with several research institutions.

Key recommendations:
Organize an annual R&D forum for the EST sector and develop support tools for creating R&D consortiums.
Create strategic partnerships in Canada and internationally aligned with key sectors.
Position Quebec as the champion of intellectual property management and retain the economic benefits of EST innovations in Quebec.
