Creating synergies and leveraging expertise for greater impact

Tackling complex societal challenges often requires collective action.

We believe that our positive impact is significantly strengthened when we join forces to address sustainability challenges specific to our industries.

Nooé, a partnership to foster a culture of giving back

Premier Tech and Mirego, which is part of our Digital business group, have formed an impactful partnership with the foundation Nooé.

Mirego has leveraged its digital application development expertise for a major social movement: bringing people closer to giving as well as building bridges between a company and its teams, enabling both to contribute to causes dear to the hearts of individuals.

The Québec non-profit organization Nooé has the ambition to develop an entirely free digital application to encourage donation and help showcase over 3 000 organizations across the province. The main mission of Nooé is to increase the average annual donation in Québec while enhancing how we value philanthropy in the province. It is by joining forces that we aim to create a true movement of generosity and have a lasting social impact.

HIFA, a strong partnership for innovation and training

Premier Tech was among the ideators of the Innovation and Advanced Training Halls (Halles d’innovation et de formation avancée — HIFA) with the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi Entrepreneurship and Spin-Off Centre (CEE-UQAC), and is one of the founding members — alongside the Fonds de solidarité FTQ, Desjardins Capital and Cascades.

HIFA is a non-profit organization whose goal is to support Québec manufacturers in improving their efficiency and productivity through the automatization and robotization of their operations, as well as the acceleration of their digital transformation. HIFA supports them throughout the process, which requires innovation and training of office and production staff.

Premier Tech leveraged its expertise in automation and smart manufacturing for this innovation centre, aiming to offer Québec manufacturers support beyond its own network of subcontractors and suppliers.

It was therefore natural for Premier Tech to help HIFA in its effort to offer training to personnel and support individuals in improving operational efficiency of manufacturers.

As June 2024 marks the opening of HIFA it has already been granted a project by the Labour Market Partners Board (Commission des partenaires du marché du travail — CPMT).

This project aims to develop a training model designed for the specific realities of a manufacturing environment and is centred on the needs of people working in plants. This training model seeks to support Québec manufacturers, as well as their personnel, in the acceleration of their automatization and digital transformation.
