About us
CENTECH
Dedicated to deeptech & medTech companies with high growth potential, Centech is a world-class business incubator based in Montreal.
Centech is a non-profit organization open to everyone and offers two support programs for startups: the Acceleration program (12 weeks), then the strongest potentials are selected to get into the Propulsion program (24 months).
Since 2018, Centech has its own open innovation lab, Collision Lab, where large corporations are supported to integrate technology projects thanks to the agility of startups and the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Centech performs particularly well in the fields of medical technology, manufacturing, telecoms and microelectronics and other intelligent objects.
In 2019, Centech was recognized by UBI Global as one of the most successful university incubators in the world.
