Depuis juin 2023, le programme Genium AGIR soutient des dizaines d'initiatives chaque année. Découvrez des projets, des étudiants et des professionnels en génie déterminé·es à avoir un impact durable et à faire avancer l'innovation au Québec.
At the Faculty of Science and Engineering’s Recognition Cocktail, Genium360 awarded a leadership scholarship to Sarah-Eve Fontaine (industrial engineering) to honor her commitment. This gesture is part of AGIR’s broader effort to identify and support young leaders advancing the profession and the university community. Congratulations to all recipients for their inspiring involvement.

Leadership scholarship
Université Laval
The acquisition of a digital machine tool in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Université Laval marks a concrete advancement for the student community. This innovative tool was made possible thanks to the commitment of the engineering community, notably through the AGIR program of Genium360. It thus allows students to develop even more ambitious projects, with greater autonomy and efficiency. For Charles Clavet, director of the Laval Cargo Plane project: 'This machine is a game changer for us.' This acquisition gives a tangible boost to the innovation of the next generation.

Un nouveau dispositif d'assistance cardiaque conçu à Concordia
Une équipe de chercheurs de l'Université Concordia en collaboration avec le CHUM, dirigée par Ghassan Maraouch, développe actuellement un dispositif d'assistance cardiaque innovant qui pourrait transformer la vie des patients atteints d'insuffisance cardiaque avancée.
L'insuffisance cardiaque touche 750 000 Canadiens, avec 100 000 nouveaux cas diagnostiqués chaque année. Entre 75 000 et 112 500 patients souffrent d'une forme avancée de la maladie et ne peuvent bénéficier d'une transplantation cardiaque en raison du manque de dons d'organes. Pour les patients atteints d'insuffisance cardiaque avancée présentant une fraction d'éjection réduite (~ 50 % de la population souffrant d'insuffisance cardiaque), seuls les dispositifs d'assistance ventriculaire peuvent les aider.
L’innovation, baptisée InCardia, se distingue des solutions existantes par son approche moins invasive. « Notre technologie peut être implantée par cathéter, ce qui réduit considérablement les risques liés à l'intervention », explique Ghassan Maraouch, concepteur principal et doctorant en génie mécanique.
Heart Squared a reçu une somme de 15 000 dollars via le programme AGIR de Genium360 dans le cadre de son partenariat avec Axelys.
« Ce soutien financier de Genium360 nous permettra d’obtenir plus de fonds d’un programme gouvernemental de soutien aux organismes de recherche pour acheter des matériaux et des équipements afin de continuer le développement de la technologie, précise-t-il. L’argent reçu nous aidera également à financer des essais précliniques prévus pour le premier trimestre 2025. »

Genium360 est partenaire officiel de la Compétition québécoise d'ingénierie (CQI) qui s'est déroulée du 16 au 19 janvier 2025 à Polytechnique Montréal. La 40e édition de cette compétition d’ingénierie réunit 13 campus de 11 universités différentes partout au Québec et rassemble des centaines d’étudiants en génie de la province.
La Compétition Québécoise d’Ingénierie (CQI) est chapeautée par la Confédération pour le Rayonnement Étudiant en Ingénierie du Québec (CRÉIQ) et permet aux étudiants en génie de démontrer leurs talents par le biais d’épreuves théoriques et pratiques.
La compétition est mise sur pied par un comité organisateur regroupant des étudiantes au 1er cycle ainsi qu’au 2e cycle qui ont à coeur l’implication étudiante.

Forging Excellence
Bridge Up is developing a reinforcement system for bridges using ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) and a textile mesh, four times stronger and far more durable than current solutions. Genium360 funded $15,000 to test the method at scale in the lab (2–5 m beams) toward a real-world demonstrator. This innovation aims to extend infrastructure life, reduce repair frequency and lower the sector’s carbon footprint—addressing an urgent need for Québec’s aging road network.
Dendrometric combines computer vision and drones to identify over 200 tree species without costly sensors. Supported by a $10,000 AGIR grant, the startup aims to provide forestry technicians and engineers with reliable dendrometric data for sustainable management, biomass calculation and certification compliance. The accessible approach (using color images) eases deployment and promises a valuable traceability tool to optimize carbon management and protect biodiversity.
The CQGCh addresses the need for a technically focused competition tailored to chemical engineering industry challenges. Launched by four Polytechnique Montréal students, the first edition brought together around 100 participants for real-world tasks (bioprocess optimization, emissions reduction, regulatory adaptation). Genium360 supported logistics with a $3,000 grant to reserve rooms and design the challenges. Beyond solutions, the goal is educational: learning to structure work, collaborate and adapt—skills essential to an engineer’s career.
Regenix is developing a bioreactor capable of producing human tissues from patients’ own cells, reducing rejection risk and the wait for compatible donors. Genium360 awarded a grant for equipment purchases (non-invasive optical probes) that enable real-time monitoring of cultures. This support accelerates development of a hepatic graft as a therapeutic “bridge” and helps mature the project, driven by a multidisciplinary team (engineering, AI, pathology) committed to making hospital-based biofabrication a reality.
Thirty students from the Université de Sherbrooke are designing a liquid-propelled rocket aiming to break the world altitude record (9,200 meters) with recovery. “The Genium360 logo will appear on the Zenith rocket at launch,” confirms Guillaume Béland, the project’s technical lead.
