- Accelerate technology adoption
- Develop a highly specialized workforce
- Attract foreign investment
What sets Numana apart from other technology organizations is its unique process with concrete solutions that build on one another. The foundation for this approach is technologicy intelligence solutions which provides foresight for our Think Tanks, where organizations can shape innovative and high-impact technology projects. We support each solution with knowledge mobilization actions and actively help develop talent and public policies.
With our partners, we accelerate innovation to create more value for the technology industry and wealth for Quebec as a whole.
We work with all ecosystems and industries, and bring together their different stakeholders (prime contractors, academics, small organizations, etc.) around concepts, policies, innovative technology projects and emerging business models.
Our organization is committed to developing tomorrow’s technologies for a sustainable and positive impact on society now and in the future.
The Numana process
Technology intelligence
Think Tanks
Real-life experimentation laboratories
Our foundational solution consists of proactively searchingfor innovations and anticipating technology trends, to pick up on weak signals, forecast future business models and provide monitoring reports on new technology to the ecosystems we support.
Through exclusive events and meetings with government decision-makers, Numana fosters information sharing and a reflection on tomorrow’s challenges, while connecting innovation players at the provincial, national and international levels. These events, and those of our partners, also showcase the wealth of Quebec’s technology industry.
These activities form the basis of our ecosystem solutions to support innovation, technology adoption and digital transformation.
As the mid-level part of our process, Numana’s Think Tanks let stakeholders reflect on how leading-edge technology will impact their different ecosystems. These spaces allow for an in-depth analysis of technology challenges and emerging business models, which is a cross-sector, collaborative way to anticipate future issues.
Independent and objective, our Think Tanks bring together the academia and businesses of all sizes, to produce reports for decision-makers that contain concrete courses of action, they help to guide future projects and direct innovation strategies.
These reports provide valuable insights for organizations that want to remain at the cutting edge of technological evolution.
The top-level part of the Numana process consists of offering concrete projects that enable real-life experimentation.
We set up initiatives that bring together several ecosystems to experiment with emerging technologies or new ways to use existing technologies in open environments. These spaces are geared towards developing products or services, and adopting technologies and can take the form of living labs or testbeds.
Through these spaces, we can support digital transformation and innovation for an entire ecosystem while reducing the risks for research and development projects that require costly technologies.
