Perspective Quantum #6 : Financez votre projet sur les technologies quantiques

The goal of this webinar is to educate the electronics and photonics community about available funding sources. From financial aid intended for academia, through the RSRIs that are PROMPT and PRIMA Quebec, the webinar will allow you to discover or better understand the Call for innovation projects in quantum technologies: industrial research in collaboration and support to the entrepreneurship of the MEI. This will be completed by the presentation of Mitacs programs, the $ 200M investment fund from the Business Development Bank of Canada and Emergex. The latter will inform you about university research contracts in the context of SR&ED tax credit claims.
