Imagine Chaleur: Innovation at the Service of the Economy
Belle Baie, November 21, 2024 - On November 20, Imagine Chaleur hosted the third event in its Perspectives series, aimed at energizing the Chaleur region's entrepreneurial ecosystem. For this third edition, whose theme was "Propelling the economy through innovation", business leaders, technology experts and local entrepreneurs came together to demonstrate how innovation can transform businesses and communities.
For Shirley de Silva, Director of Imagine Chaleur's Economic Development and Tourism Department, "innovation is not limited to technology. It shows up in every aspect of our economies - in new approaches to human resource management, in the adaptation of our financial systems, and in the way we govern our businesses. These elements combine to create innovative and relevant solutions," she declared.
The program featured a series of presentations highlighting both innovations and emerging technologies and their potential impact on the local economy. Participants were able to explore the benefits of artificial intelligence and robotics, as well as various regional innovation projects designed to support economic development.
Particular emphasis was placed on the crucial role of the Centre d'innovation et de formation de Bathurst (CIFNB) and CCNB INNOV, which support innovation within companies and facilitate access to programs and various incentives to encourage entrepreneurial growth.
The event ended with an interactive exhibition, where participants were able to watch robots in action, to illustrate in concrete terms the application of new technologies in the various sectors of activity in our communities.
