Cégep de Shawinigan and Concordia University’s Volt-Age research program are among the founding partners of a new innovation hub in Shawinigan. Supported with a $20M investment from the Government of Québec, the MCS+ Space at the Centre d’entrepreneuriat Alphonse-Desjardins Shawinigan (CEADS) will serve as a location for partners to collaborate on electrification, battery, and advanced material technologies. The facility will contain laboratories and technology to further this end, supporting the eventual transfer of these technologies to electrification and defence markets. Shawinigan Mayor Yves Lévesque asserted that the hub would serve to both re-invigorate CEADS and support growth in a strategic sector of the economy.
