Integrative project

with La Factry

→ Innovation → Culture of innovation

Since 2020, we’ve been collaborating with La Factry, the school of creative

sciences, in Montreal. This partnership takes several forms, including

co-creation workshops as well as creativity and change management training

for our teams and partners. Our AXLAB research and development team set up

its operations at La Factry in 2021, which gives us the opportunity to exchange

and share our knowledge with students.

In 2022, we took this collaboration to another level through the Pause youth

program. Over a 12-week period, this program works with the next creative

generation to find new solutions to today’s problems. For example, we

challenged the 17 participants to find concrete recovery options for a project’s

residual materials. The ideas that were generated illustrate that by collaborating

and integrating diverse perspectives in our ways of doing things, we can find

innovative solutions to the challenges of the circular economy.

These young people come from diverse academic and professional

backgrounds and are pursuing an educational path based on creativity. We

plan to repeat this experience with new challenges that continue to be rooted

in the realities of our projects and are inspiring for students.
