February 25, 2025

Value

Description

Through the SynergiQc program, CQDM aims to promote industrial-scale biopharmaceutical research conducted in collaboration with public research centres, which will bring positive economic benefits to Quebec. SynergiQc enables a broad and varied network of businesses that work in life sciences (pharmaceutical businesses, biotechnology companies, contract research organizations, etc.) to participate, as a group or exclusively, to undertake R&D projects that meet their specific needs.

This biopharmaceutical research program, with an industrial scope, is specifically designed to:

  • strengthen business technological innovation capability in Quebec through public research;
  • increase the number of research collaborations and partnerships between universities, hospitals, schools, public laboratories, and businesses working within the life sciences ecosystem in Quebec;
  • enable technological maturation and industrial value creation to bring about economic benefits for project stakeholders and for Quebec;
  • contribute to the development of knowledge, know-how, and new technologies developed in public institutions, as well as their transfer to industry.

All researchers working in a public research institution in Quebec (University and hospital affiliates, research institutes, College Technology Transfer Center [CCTT], public research centres) who are working closely with at least one eligible business in Quebec.

  • Travel expenses (travel related to the project, collaborations, conferences) and knowledge dissemination costs.
