Small and Medium EnterprisesPublic Research Centers

Sub-Project Needs› A number of SME and Public Research Centres were

initially approached by sub-project industrial leaders to ascertain their desire to participate and to perform a preliminary evaluation of their capabilities

› Sub-projects have since been progressing from general concepts to more precise definitions

› Knowledge and technical capability gap analyses are taking place to identify which specific technology development and demonstrations are needed to fill the identified knowledge and technological capability gaps

› SME and Public Research Centres best suited to the needs of the sub-projects will be selected by industrial leaders

It is possible that not all SME and Public Research Centres that were initially approached by industrial leaders will participate.

26

Small and Medium EnterprisesPublic Research Centers

Major developmental project requirements

› Involve a number of Quebec SME

› Flow contracts to Quebec SME

› Flow contracts to Public Research Centres

› Current status and projections by sub-project industrial leaders indicate that these requirements are being met
