Overview
This component supports Quebec-based businesses in identifying data-driven technological project opportunities through the development of a Technology Requirements Document.
The requirements document is prepared by independent experts who are neutral to the project. These experts are pre-qualified to define technological projects.
The document focuses on the identification and prioritization of applied R&D projects involving digital, physical, and/or software data technologies that improve business productivity—while ensuring that the targeted technological bottleneck on the production line is correctly prioritized.
