It was attended by a group of regional innovation advisors and organized by Yann Berhault, innovation project coordinator at Montérégie Économique.

The activity then continued at Recyclo-Centre, where Mario Fortin, General Manager, presented the textile recovery project based on social innovation carried out in collaboration with the CTTÉI - a project that recently attracted the attention of La Presse.
