The state-of-the-art EMCCD camera manufacturer Nüvü Camēras is moving its facilities to the INGO Innovation Centre to accelerate its growth. Nüvü™ is one of the first companies to successfully take off from the high-tech J.-Armand Bombardier Incubator, a joint initiative of the University of Montreal and Polytechnique Montréal.
Today, propelled by its success, Nüvü™’s team will join the stimulating technological ecosystem that is the Quartier de l’innovation in Montreal. Marie-Eve Ducharme, President and CEO of the company, explains: "High tech is a demanding and constantly evolving market. With its new facilities, Nüvü Camēras will increase both its production capacity, to honour an internationally growing demand for its products, and innovation capacity, to maintain its position as the ultimate provider of precision imaging solution for the observation of nearly complete darkness scenes."
With its open innovation culture, Nüvü Camēras chose the École de technologie supérieure as its neighbour to enrich its research and development partnerships. Moreover, the company is continuously recruiting. The proximity to Montreal’s downtown and business district is another driving factor that convinced the high-tech company to settle in the LEED-certified building located at 355 Peel Street.
Nüvü Camēras would like to thank those who have believed in its venture, including its stakeholders as well as the following organizations that have contributed to its success: the Canadian Space Agency, the Ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Exportation du Québec, the Industrial Research Assistance Program of the National Research Council Canada (IRAP-NRC), Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Fonds de recherche du Québec — Nature et technologies, the Fondation Montréal Inc., Mitacs, ROBIC, Export Quebec, the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, and Investissement Québec.
