  Participez au baromètre : Comment combler le fossé entre startups et grandes entreprises?

  Qu'est-ce que le Baromètre? Depuis mars 2020, le Mouvement des accélérateurs d'innovation du Québec sonde les startups québécoises afin de suivre leur évolution (état de la situation, enjeux, impacts de la COVID-19, besoins, attentes, etc.). Le Baromètre est élaboré autour de différentes thématiques d'intérêt comme le financement et l'investissement, la réinvention des startups dans le contexte de la relance ou les startups dans la vallée de la mort. Depuis 2014, HighLine Beta, une firme d'innovation pour les entreprises et un fonds d'investissement en amorçage, publie des rapports sur les thèmes de l'innovation corporative et des tendances de marché dans plusieurs secteurs d'activités. Baromètre thématique: Rapprochement startups / moyennes et grandes entreprises MAIN et Highline Beta, en partenariat avec CGT Conseils, présentent le nouveau Baromètre sur la thématique de l'innovation et des partenariats entre startups et moyennes et grandes entreprises. Ce Baromètre aura un format nouveau et unique: il sera présenté en deux pans. D'un côté, les startups seront sondées et de l'autre, les moyennes et grandes entreprises. Le sondage prend fin le 8 janvier et les résultats seront diffusés d'ici début février. Le rapport final présentera les analyses sous forme « miroir » des deux côtés de la médaille. À qui s'adresse ce Baromètre? Deux questionnaires seront donc diffusés en parallèle. Les répondants ciblés sont: Questionnaire startup: jeune entreprise innovante à fort potentiel de croissance. Je suis un.e entrepreneur.e d'une entreprise qui est dans ses premiers stades de développement, qui n'a pas atteint la maturité (bénéfice stable d'année en année) et l'innovation est centrale à notre modèle d'affaires. Questionnaire moyennes et grandes entreprises: entreprise bien établie, de plus de 100 employés et qui a des activités au Québec. Je suis un.e employé.e permanent.e et j'occupe un poste dans lequel j'ai un pouvoir décisionnel sur les questions liées à l'innovation (ex.: membre de l'exécutif, direction de l'innovation, direction des partenariats, etc.).

  DND launches a call to innovative thinkers for solutions to COVID-19 challenges

  As part of the Government of Canada's commitment to refocus existing innovation programs to support the fight against the spread of COVID-19, the Department of National Defence has announced the first of a series of calls for innovations aimed at addressing some key challenges Canada is facing. With an initial commitment of $15 million, the first three challenges focus on: Viable and effective processes and methods for safely and rapidly decontaminating enclosed work environments, such as buildings and modes of transportation, containing sensitive equipment; Innovative material and designs to aid in decontamination of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), operational clothing, and equipment for personnel responding to events involving biological hazards; and Data gathering solutions to support the early detection and community-based monitoring of outbreaks of contagious diseases. These challenges were determined by multi-departmental panels led by the National Research Council of Canada as part of the COVID-19 Challenges Procurement Program. In addition to the call for innovation, these panels are engaging Canadian small- and medium-sized enterprises to refine their near-to-market products to meet a COVID-19 related need. Promising solutions in the areas of PPE, sanitization, diagnostics and testing, therapeutics, and disease-tracking technology may receive funding to further their solutions of interest. This effort is a collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada, Public Health Agency of Canada, and Health Canada and sees an additional investment of up to $10 million. Innovators are encouraged to consult the IDEaS program website (https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/programs/defence-ideas.html) for more information on the challenges and how to apply to the program. “These are unprecedented times. We need to leverage all great minds and innovators in our efforts to combat COVID-19,” said Defence Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan. “We will invest in Canadians as we look for innovative solutions to keep not only the women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces, but all Canadians safe.” – Quick facts Call for innovation – Challenges to Canadian innovators This initiative is being led by DND's Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program, with collaboration from the Centre for Security Science Program. The call will be open until June 23, with contracts expected to be awarded this summer. COVID-19 Challenges Procurement Program DND has provided subject matter experts in the areas of public safety and security, medical response, and biology/chemistry for these panels. http://www.lookoutnewspaper.com/dnd-launches-call-innovative-thinkers-solutions-covid-19-challenges/
