Propulsion Québec partners with Polytechnique Montréal's trajet-m entrepreneurial pathway

Propulsion Québec is proud to partner with the new entrepreneurial pathway trajet-m, launched by Polytechnique Montréal. This pathway aims to find concrete answers to a series of challenges related to sustainable mobility in Quebec while creating an environment conducive to the development of innovative technology companies. Open to the entire population of Quebec, it will offer free support to selected participants in the various stages of developing a business project, notably from Polytechnique Montréal, which has extensive expertise in sustainable mobility.

At the end of the one-year program, trajet-m intends to propel five viable business ventures that will provide concrete solutions to meet market needs in this sector while addressing the challenges inherent to today’s mobility, whether by reducing the carbon footprint of travel, by democratizing access to mobility, or by harmoniously and adaptively integrating into the living environment.

In a first phase, selected individuals or groups will participate in workshops led by experts, business advisors and entrepreneurs in order to refine their ideas and their business model. Those chosen for the next stage will receive personalized support over a twelve-month period. This support will be provided by experienced entrepreneurs, university researchers, experts, coaches and mentors. Assistance in seeking financing will also be made available to them, as well as the opportunity to be connected with potential clients. In total, more than $80,000 will be awarded in prizes and services.
