The Valorization Committee, under the leadership of Jonathan Roy, manages all activities related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and company creation. It oversees patent management, supports the maturation of innovations emerging from research projects, and facilitates the development of technology startups. By transforming the Chair’s scientific breakthroughs into concrete solutions and economic opportunities, the committee plays a central role in building a sustainable innovation ecosystem. Its objective is to maximize the industrial and societal impact of research outcomes while fostering value creation for partners and supporting the growth of Québec‑based companies specializing in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and post‑quantum technologies.
