Agendrix was founded in Sherbrooke, QC to develop and commercialize a web-based employee scheduling application. Officially launched in 2015, the business operates under a ?Software as a Service? model. Today, the app counts hundreds of paying customers and thousands of users with a global reach given that 20% of its revenues are derived from the U.S., the U.K., France, Switzerland and Belgium. The solution helps managers plan the schedule of their teams in an optimal fashion, while encouraging collaboration between employees. They have access to native iPhone and Android apps enabling them to consult their schedule, communicate with their manager and indicate their availabilities, among other features. The centralization of all this information gives several advantages to the users, notably significant time saving and a lower risk of error, in turn allowing them to focus on their core business instead of scheduling.

Audible Reality will change the future of audio. Audible Reality?s revolutionary 3D audio technology grew from the pursuit of beauty.

Marie-Claude Marchand and Nancy Lahaie founded deiNERI, an innovative company whose mission is to beautify living spaces through art and design. It was by helping an artist friend that they observed that the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces no longer exist in contemporary residential living.

The unique, patent pending, deiNERI stand?ART takes two-dimensional paintings, photographs and visual art totally off the wall and into the garden for the very first time. It offers new design possibilities as practical solutions to the challenges of privacy, separating spaces and managing flow, as well as contributing to the aesthetic and emotional expression of any space. stand’ART is designed and manufactured in Québec and is distributed throughout North America and Europe.

Launched in February 2016, Eatizz is a free mobile app which deals with the issue of food waste.

We are a Quebec startup that grows fruits and vegetables in shipping containers. Farming hasn?t seen many sustainable innovations, thus causing significant environmental, health and supply issues. FarmAnywhere is developing a solution that solves and/or mitigates these issues. With this technology, we can provide a new approach for farmers, restaurants, grocery stores, remote communities, governmental and humanitarian response organizations through the use of the Internet of Things, the cloud and proprietary growing techniques related to the enclosed environment a shipping container provides. We were able to develop a cutting-edge way to eliminate the needs for GMO ingredients, fertilizers and pesticides. Additionally, containers provide the ability to grow inside cities while also vertically stacking them to save space. We see a future where sustainable urban farming will provide fresh healthy organic food only a few kilometres from where they are consumed. Our goal is to be a part of the solution to the food crisis at home and abroad.

Today, 75M children are illiterate and two thirds are girls, which makes gender equality complex. Think Again curates simple and low-tech content and experiences to promote literacy. We imagine cities as positive learning environments, where improving literacy and education is of urgency. It?s essential to music, movies, reading, coding, designing or building. We see intelligence and literacy as something that goes beyond the classroom. Real learning and creativity is born out of being curious mixed with a little bit of hustle. Everything we curate is culturally relevant and accessible.
