Our role is to provide support, and it's really important to ensure that the centres can work together to solve a problem a company is facing. It's important to combine the strengths of the different centres, based on their expertise. For example, SEREX, which has expertise in forest products, works well with Innovation maritime, or IMAR, to support the industry in the Rimouski area.
