Guided by my passion for advancing emerging technology, my career is rooted in strategic partnerships and community building. I am proud of the incubator that I founded, District 3, and the 1000+ tech startups that have come through our doors in now 10 years. I am committed to growing the bioeconomy in Quebec--which at this very second, is revolutionizing the world. Equivalent to what happened in IT 50 years ago, the same is occurring in biological engineering--it’s going to change everything. The next bioeconomy ventures are led by scientific entrepreneurs with deep expertise in their respective domains-- fields like AI in biological engineering, healthtech, clean tech, agri-foods--are all key innovation drivers.
