Financial support
With the support of tax credits linked to R&D in addition to the advantages of levers typically of $ 4 / industrial $, it has never been so easy and affordable to do high-level research in this growing sector. in Quebec.
With the financial support of the Government of Canada (via NSERC) as well as in Quebec thanks to the collaboration of CRIBIQ, the Chair has the possibility of supporting the renewable industry at low cost. In addition, in addition to the creation and scaling of new technologies, the Chair is pleased to train high-level students who have cutting-edge expertise in the bioeconomy.
