Our Response to The Climate Emergency

Transportation accounts for half of Quebec’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and it is clear that the situation has evolved alarmingly since 1990. Therefore, it is imperative to target mobility with a lower carbon footprint that will allow us to support the initiatives developed to pool our efforts so that, collectively, we can accelerate and achieve a green, prosperous and united recovery.

The MOBIS Accelerator is in line with the vision of enabling change in sustainable mobility in Quebec, particularly through a territorial, flexible approach based on social innovation.

You wish to create, optimize or develop solutions to sustainable mobility problems? We are available to fine-tune your approach and give you the necessary momentum to reach your target and put social innovation in motion.

Which projects can benefit from MOBIS acceleration services?

We accelerate the deployment of innovative projects that provide solutions to the challenges of sustainable mobility by addressing the issues raised by cities and our territorial partners in Quebec. Your solution must address one of these issues:

  • Active mobility
  • Shared and collective mobility
  • Universal mobility
  • Logistics and freight mobility
  • Energy efficiency and electrification
  • Intelligent mobility and mobility data
  • Urban development

To meet the requirements, your solution must meet certain standards:

  • Answer both a mobility problem while significantly contributing to GHG reduction;
  • Have a level of maturity (TRL between 4 and 7) so that a pilot project can be put forward within a short time frame (>6 months);
  • Align with a deployment vision for your solution/technology within the Quebec territory. However, your offices may be located outside this territory without compromising your admissibility.
