PIVO et la Cité de l’innovation circulaire

PIVO

The cities of Bécancour and Trois-Rivières are joining forces to create an innovation zone project geared toward a decarbonized future: PIVO.

By bringing together the private sector and the knowledge sector, PIVO aims to make the region an attractive hub for talent from all backgrounds, a welcoming and inclusive place to live, fostering intercultural exchange, collaboration, and, above all, innovation.

La Cité de l’innovation circulaire, le Terreau

The Cité de l’innovation circulaire project, known as le Terreau, aims to optimize and innovate the value chains of businesses and territories, secure their supply chains, and create new sources of wealth by tapping into untapped, locally available resources through the application of circular economy principles. “It’s essentially about building a better world together, based on a research, innovation, and creativity ecosystem that generates wealth by giving value to scraps or residual materials that would otherwise be an environmental liability, often headed for landfill,” said Vincent Guay. La Cité de l’innovation circulaire, le Terreau, is backed by more than 80 organizations and companies leading the way toward more innovative and sustainable practices.
