Cintech agroalimentaire’s mission is to increase the innovation and competitiveness of Québec's agriculture and biofood industry by supporting R&D, consumer research and technology transfer.

CINTECH agroalimentaire is the CCTT centre specializing in food processing in Québec. Its mission is to help companies of all sizes innovate, grow and be more competitive through the provision of professional services in both research and development (product formulation and improvement; innovative technologies and processes; technical and economic feasibility studies; and reduction of food residues) and consumer research (validation of concepts and products; panel of trained judges; and personalized training in sensory evaluation). A collaborative, results-based approach and expertise have been key to the success of our partnerships over the past 25 years.
