We are Numana
We catalyze innovative ecosystems that create more value for the technology industry and Quebec.
TechnoMontréal is becoming Numana
We’ve created a new name to better communicate who we are and where we’re going: Numana.
The name Numana is optimistic, technological and people-centred; it’s focused on the future. It epitomizes our desire to develop new technologies for the people of tomorrow.
At Numana, we’re a catalyst for technological ecosystems. With our partners, we bring innovative people together to create more value for the technology industry and for Quebec as a whole.
Our vision
Our aim is to increase the impact of technologies to transform each strategic market for the Quebec of the future.

How will we fulfil this promise?

We identify challenges. We analyze data and predict future needs. Thanks to our Think Tank, our team, our industrial and academic members and our partners, we play a leading role in innovation. We produce a variety of relevant documents, including studies, reports and white papers. That’s our visionary side.
