Our Mission – What we are all about

We aim to maximize the impact of the CCTTs’ collective and individual expertise in innovation and applied research on the socio-economic development of Quebec and Canada. We achieve this through increasing, in the sectors where we operate, the transfer of innovative processes, methods, practices and products, and also through contributing to the development of a highly skilled and innovative workforce.

Our Vision – What we strive to become

Thanks to the diversity of their cutting-edge expertise in innovation and applied research, CCTTs are key players in major national strategies and the socio-economic development of Quebec and Canada. As recognized partners of the government and valued and regular collaborators for their corporate, organizational, municipal, ministerial and paragovernmental clients, CCTTs are drivers of innovation, anchored in sustainable development, and a vehicle for collaboration for an economy better aligned with the population’s needs.

Our history

Originally established in 1992 as the Regroupement des centres spécialisés du Québec (RCSQ), it was made up of nine centres. In 1995, the group of centres became the Trans-Tech Network and coordinated networking, consultation and representation. Having redefined its name and image in 2019, Synchronex continues to be active and relevant in bringing together and representing the 59 college centers for the transfer of technology and social practices and offering them high added value services.

Each CCTT specializes in a specific field of activity and is directly linked to a CEGEP in its region. Through this close collaboration with the educational community, CCTTs play a key role in training the next generation, ensuring they are qualified and innovative. Thanks to the CCTTs’ foothold at the college level, businesses have access to complementary specialized expertise for developing innovative and sustainable projects.
