The objective of the Plastics and Advanced Materials Innovation Center (Le Moule) is to stimulate the development and commercialization of new innovative products in plastics and composites. This technological accelerator assists companies and inventors in :
- identification of market opportunities;
- validation of technological opportunities creation of products;
- the development of prototypes the choice of marketing models;
- search for financing;
- Production start-up;
- product launch and marketing.
PRIORITY AXES
Monitoring and identification of opportunities
Carry out technological and commercial monitoring on behalf of companies in the composites and plastics sector in order to identify market opportunities or to validate the commercial potential of new proprietary products or new technologies, particularly those proposed by value-adding companies.
Ideation and product creation
Accompany companies and inventors in the structuring of their new product creation projects, in the identification of technological solutions in collaboration with college technology transfer centers (CCTT), Quebec research centers or specialized experts, as well as in the creation or 3D printing of prototypes and the validation of their technical performance.
Commercialization support
Accompany companies and inventors in the choice of commercialization models, in the search for financing, in the protection of intellectual property, in the start of production, in the launch of products, as well as in the marketing of their products to first customers or distributors.
A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND MARKETING OF NEW PRODUCTS
The innovation network is large, unknown and it is difficult to find the right contacts. Le Moule is able to qualify the precise needs of inventors and companies, in addition to accompanying them through all the stages of development and commercialization of new products. As a catalyst of the multiple resources already in existence, the organization makes sure to make the best possible connections through the members of the network of suppliers, technology transfer centers, research centers and technical or manufacturing experts as well as funding sources in order to maximize the chances of success of each of the projects it supports.
STRUCTURING COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS WITH A PROMISING FUTURE
Through its interventions and its involvement in the success of the projects it supports, Le Moule aims to create synergies and linkages between companies in order to create structuring collaborative projects.
