Message from the president
The sustained growth achieved by Technoparc Montréal since its first incarnation in 1987 has conferred upon the City of Montreal the status of world-class centre of excellence in technological and scientific research. I am truly honoured to lead the organization that spearheaded and served as a catalyst for this ambitious project.
When I was named President, I was given a clear mandate: develop Canada’s leading multi-site research park in Montreal by creating new infrastructures and strategic public and private partnerships in the science and technology sectors.
Technoparc Montréal relies on dedicated collaborators who give their all each and every day to fulfil this mission with ambition, dynamism and passion.
Of course, aside from its impressive statistics and projects, Technoparc Montréal is also an innovation centre where quality of life, social interaction, intellectual stimulation, technological infrastructures and state-of-the-art research platforms come together to create an exceptional business environment which fosters the emergence and development of high potential projects in the following sectors:
- Aerospace
- Life sciences
- Information technology
- Clean technology
- Agri-food
- Energy
We have used every available resource to make our partners proud. Since our intervention area now extends to the entire island of Montreal, our mission also includes supporting various Montreal boroughs in their efforts to develop and implement wide-scale scientific and technological projects.
A first partnership concluded in 2008 with the Société du Quartier de la santé will allow us to develop the Company aspect of this important life sciences project.
But our mission doesn’t end there. Given the environmental problems facing future generations and the cutting edge expertise we bring to the table, we are also tackling the challenge of sustainable development through various projects, including the establishment of Canada’s largest research zone dedicated to clean technologies.
Quite simply, we are building tomorrow’s know-how today!
Mario MONETTE
President and Chief Executive Officer
