INNOV-R — CRIBIQ

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving industrial performance is a growing priority for many Quebec businesses, especially those working with complex production processes. For companies developing cleaner industrial solutions, the INNOV-R — CRIBIQ program offers meaningful financial support to move ambitious R&D projects forward through collaboration with research experts.

Delivered by CRIBIQ, the Consortium de recherche et d’innovations en bioprocédés industriels au Québec, this initiative is designed for small, medium-sized, and larger enterprises active in sectors such as agri-food, clean technology, and other industrial fields. The program supports multi-year research and development projects that focus on lowering GHG emissions in industrial processes, particularly through bioprocessing or innovative technological approaches. Businesses can receive non-repayable funding covering up to half of eligible project costs, with total support reaching roughly $500,000 per year over a project period of up to three years. A key feature of INNOV-R is the requirement to work with at least one academic institution or public research centre, helping businesses access specialized expertise and research infrastructure that may not be available internally.

This program is currently open to businesses in Quebec that are ready to invest in collaborative innovation with measurable environmental impact. Exploring the full details can help determine whether your R&D project aligns with INNOV-R’s objectives and funding potential.
