Industrial Incubator – CITIG

Develop Your Innovative Business in Granby!

The Centre d’innovation et de technologies industrielles de Granby (Granby’s Centre of Innovation and Industrial Technologies – CITIG) is an industrial incubator that supports local entrepreneurship and promotes business development. This incubator provides innovative companies and startups with fairly priced commercial space, as well as consulting and professional and technical support services.

Personalised Support Committee

The true added value of the industrial incubator is the support that is available to businesses. Entrepreneurs are guided by a support committee of experienced professionals and industrialists who agreed to give back by sharing their knowledge in order to contribute to the success and accelerate the growth of these innovative businesses. These volunteers share their expertise, experience, strategies and network of contacts with young entrepreneurs and future business leaders.

The CITIG building is designed to be environmentally sustainable, with geothermal energy, large windows, and solar panels to absorb energy and reduce consumption. Water, waste and recycling are managed sustainably; CITIG chose to place electric, VOIP and fibre optic cables underground.
