a word from the
President
Proudly speaking on behalf of the entire advanced materials ecosystem, PRIMA Québec is pleased to introduce the 2035 Roadmap, an ambitious document designed to meet one of the greatest challenges of our time: decarbonizing the economy.
« Every day, the fascinating world of advanced materials propels Québec towards a greener, more sustainable future. Like critical and strategic minerals, advanced materials provide an essential pillar for a decarbonized energy transition while promoting the ever-expanding role of a circular economy in our society. »
Marie-Pierre Ippersiel, Ph.D.
President and CEO
PRIMA Québec
Following an inspiring and unifying mobilization exercise that brought together more than 275 participants through surveys, workshops, and discussion groups, the creation of the Roadmap helped us clarify our vision while establishing new connections and partnerships centred around our shared goals and outcomes.
While the guidelines that appear in the Roadmap are the end result of a process that began in the spring, they nonetheless herald the start of an ongoing mission that will incorporate new measures intended to position Québec within the international market while reinforcing the strategic significance of advanced materials for the future of our planet.
I offer my sincere gratitude to every member of the steering committee for its participation in this collective and collaborative effort. I wish to thank the PRIMA Québec team, our Board of Directors, and René Poirier for their unfailing support throughout the project.
I also wish to thank every company, research community and organization that was consulted while developing the Roadmap. All have contributed their heart and passion, and my fondest wish is that they will be the first to benefit.
THE 2035 ROADMAP FOR ADVANCED MATERIALS AND ASSOCIATED PROCESSES REPRESENTS A KEY MILESTONE THAT CAN TRANSFORM THE ADVANCED MATERIALS SECTOR INTO A PILLAR OF QUéBEC’S DECARBONIZATION STRATEGY.
Its evolution is based on progress and changing external factors, along with the integration of new measures within the ecosystem.
Investment in research and development and the strengthening of strategic partnerships between research institutions, businesses, and governments are essential if we are to turn this vision into a reality.
The road to 2035 is paved with business and research opportunities. The resilience, creativity and commitment of the scientific and industrial communities will drive this transformation, and governments will play a role. It is imperative that we expand the boundaries of materials science for all initiatives while optimizing processes and integrating the principles associated with circular economies and life cycle analyses.
We offer our sincerest gratitude to all of our collaborators, partners and stakeholders for their commitment. This close and ongoing collaboration will help build a prosperous and sustainable future for Québec, as well as future generations.
THE MOVEMENT IS UNDERWAY.
ONWARDS TO 2035!
