Innovation SDG Network is a promising initiative for which the Quebec and Canada governments have expressed an interest. Faced with a growing need for organizations in terms of technological development and support in this digital shift, members of Innovation SDG Network consider that there is a need to support the university mission in this area, in collaboration with initiatives already in place such as ADRIQ, CRIQ, IVADO, ENCQOR. Innovation SDG Network will therefore bring together researchers and practitioners from various organizations, whose multiple and complementary expertise will reach various business sectors. This Innovation SDG Network will be a showcase of Quebec’s achievements and expertise in Industry 5.0. It is therefore not only a mean to satisfy a growing demand from companies for research and technological development, but also for training. Thus, there is a strong need to train the skilled 5.0 workforce to integrate into centers of excellence and SMEs. Innovation 5.0 Network will ultimately be an important platform for collaboration among universities in research, knowledge sharing, fundraising and access to infrastructure and ressource sharing.
