MONTREAL AND VICTORIAVILLE
The Hosting Organisation
Inovem
Hosting city: Montreal and Victoriaville
Inovem is a Canadian wood and related materials innovation centre affiliated with the Cégep de Victoriaville.
Inovem’s mission is to support companies in the furniture and cabinetmaking sector in their innovation process. The Centre offers technical services to support industrial development from wood drying to product finishing by developing and implementing innovative solutions to ensure business competitiveness. To achieve this, the Centre relies on a multidisciplinary team of experts and a research infrastructure that includes state-of-the-art industrial equipment and three different laboratories (low environmental impact industrial finishing, digital technologies, and mechanical and climatic testing).
Inovem offices are located at the ENME (National School of cabinet making) in Victoriaville (Canada). Interestingly, some teachers and students work closely together on research activities, giving ENME a higher profile and benefiting both organizations.
