Lighthouse: Sparking Innovation
Continuing the Port of Québec’s vision
The Lighthouse is the Port of Québec’s innovation lab.
It is a way to shape tomorrow’s port ecosystem together through innovation and entrepreneurship, while respecting the community and the environment. In its 2035 Vision, the Port of Québec states its intent to innovate and make its mark on the world by focusing on several objectives:
- Becoming a hub of innovation
- Collaborating to establish a smart economic corridor on the St. Lawrence
- Being an integral part of Québec’s innovation network by developing concrete partnerships
- Keeping an international perspective
Vision and commitment
The aim of the Lighthouse innovation lab is to solve increasingly complex challenges while stimulating innovation. Traditional methods leave little room for innovation, and cannot easily respond to complex challenges like improving community relations or reducing the environmental impact of operations. These new challenges call for a set of innovative solutions, which need to be found, tested, and implemented.
As such, the Port of Québec has committed to making its infrastructure, expertise, contacts, opportunities, and challenges available to encourage innovation and take on these issues.
Ultimately, it hopes to facilitate the implementation of innovation projects.
To this end, a dedicated innovation unit will contribute directly to advancing projects by acting as a technological showcase, a first customer, or an innovation tester. All of this is being done to improve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in an unconventional way.
