Conference Québec-Océan: Simon Bélanger (UQAR | ARCTUS)

Québec-Océan invites you to the presentation of Simon Bélanger (UQAR | ARCTUS Inc) "Arctus inc: from an idea to a reality".

Wednesday, November 29 at 12:00 pm.

In person at Salle Mohammed-el-Sabh (ISMER) and online.

Summary: 

Arctus is a company like no other. Arctus is an SME founded in 2009 by researchers Simon Bélanger (UQAR) and Marcel Babin (Takuvik) in collaboration with ACRI-st, a company based in the Alpes Maritimes in southeastern France. Launched on a terrace in Villefranche-sur-mer, the project became a reality in 2009, but Arctus really took off in 2015/16. Is Arctus a start-up? Why an ocean remote sensing company in Rimouski? Where will Arctus be in 2023? What makes Arctus different from AquaTEL? Implications for a professor of owning a company (conflict of interest?)? Where might Arctus be in 2030? You'll find some answers to these questions on November 29 at ISMER... This conference is aimed at students and teachers alike.
