VISION
Connexité – the Gatineau innovation zone project – is a collaboration space acting as a catalyst for technological and social innovation in the fields of cybersecurity, digital identity and digital health.

This is where investors, future entrepreneurs, businesses and the research community meet up, surrounded by high-end infrastructure and expertise, to collaborate on the creation and marketing of innovative technological products.
