Lab-to-Startup

Accelerating the Transition from Research to Industry for the Deployment of Concrete Environmental Solutions

Why Lab-to-Startup?

The main challenge lies in bridging the gap between scientific research and its industrial application

Laboratories are full of promising innovations, but too often, these discoveries remain confined to academia without reaching commercialization

The main challenge lies in bridging the gap between scientific research and its industrial application

Problem

The gap between research and industry slows down sustainable innovation. On one side, researchers develop high-impact technologies but lack the resources to bring them to market. On the other, companies and investors seek innovative solutions but lack access to technologies ready for commercialization.

Solution

Lab-to-Startup bridges this gap by facilitating the transition of clean technologies from the lab to the market. This unique program accelerates the creation of innovative startups and positions Quebec as a leader in sustainable innovation.
