At the northern tip of North America’s semiconductor corridor lies ground zero of innovation: Québec’s digital technologies and quantum innovation zones. Positioned to create maximum impact, these zones benefit from synergies that transform new ideas into life-changing applications.
Imagine an ecosystem where over 500 partners, including academic institutions like Université de Sherbrooke, converge, driving innovation forward.
In Bromont, global tech giants play a key role in the North American semiconductor supply chain. The Technum Quebec innovation zone hosts companies such as IBM and one of its largest semiconductor assembly and testing facilities globally and Teledyne MEMS, a world leader in the MEMS Pure Play foundry market and C2MI, Canada’s largest dedicated semiconductor R&D centre.
Sherbrooke’s quantum innovation zone, Distriq, is a thriving collaborative ecosystem, where innovators and start-ups come together to focus on quantum science. Here, world-leading companies including, Multiverse Computing, Nord Quantique, and Qubic Technologies change the future.
These innovation zones are critical components of global partnerships that advance digital and quantum technologies for the semiconductor industry. With extensive free trade agreements already in place, the time is right for a sectoral auto-pact style agreement.
