Montréal-Messe 2026
The SDG Innovation Network participated in the 3rd edition of Montréal-Messe 2026, held on May 6, 2026, in Ville Saint-Laurent and organized by the Centre d’expertise industrielle de Montréal (CEI MTL).
 
The event brought together approximately 150 participants to discuss key issues related to industrial transformation, productivity, and technological innovation. The program featured four presentations and a panel discussion covering major topics such as defense sector supply chains (CAE), industrial energy efficiency (Altanergy), artificial intelligence in manufacturing (Ingeno), advanced automation and productivity improvement (ExcelPro), as well as a panel discussion focused on the digital transformation journeys of Quebec SMEs.
 
 
In addition, the event hosted 13 exhibitor booths presenting digital solutions and business support services for companies.
 

Represented by its Scientific Director, Christophe Danjou, and Project Manager, Syrine Njah, the SDG Innovation Network presented its activities and its Digital Transformation Initiative (OTN Program) to participating SMEs. This program aims to assist SMEs in implementing digital transformation projects in collaboration with Quebec universities, with financial support from the Ministry of Economy, Innovation, and Energy (MEIE).

During the event, the SDG Network team also had the opportunity to connect with several strategic partners, including Investissement Québec, PME MTL  and Conseil de l’innovation du Québec, to further expand collaboration opportunities supporting SMEs in their digital transformation efforts.

 

 

This participation contributed to increasing the visibility of the SDG Innovation Network, strengthening connections between industrial and institutional stakeholders, and promoting impactful digital transformation initiatives for Quebec SMEs.

The SDG Innovation Network congratulates CEI Montréal on the success of this event and is delighted about the promising future partnership between the two organizations, aimed at supporting the development of digital transformation skills within SMEs.
