Why this

This one-on-one consultation helps researchers understand V1 studio’s key offerings, including the Quebec Scientific Entrepreneurship Program (QcSE) program, and the Lab2Market suite of programs, including Discover, Foundations, Validate, and Launch. The session is designed to clarify whether one of these programs may fit your research goals, stage of development, and interest in commercialization or entrepreneurship. It functions as a 30-minute exploratory conversation with a member of the V1 Studio team. The consultation will help researchers assess readiness, eligibility, and possible next steps for moving toward innovation or startup development.

Relevance for impact

Commercialization and entrepreneurship can be one route for research to move beyond academic publication, particularly when research findings, tools, technologies, or ideas may have practical use outside the university. This consultation supports early-stage strategy and planning by helping researchers assess whether the QcSE program’s offering, or a structured Lab2Market program could help them explore users, partners, markets, or pathways to application. It matters for impact because it helps researchers make informed decisions before investing time in a commercialization pathway.
