Fully equipped laboratories

The Agtech Zone offers turnkey professional laboratory spaces designed to accelerate your R&D, prototyping, and validation activities, with a simple, predictable model and no hidden costs.

Location: Center for Innovation in Agroscience and Agrotechnology, 751 L’Ange-Gardien Boulevard, L’Assomption

Opening: November 2026 for setup. January 2027 for the official opening.

Our laboratories offer immediate access to state-of-the-art scientific infrastructure and equipment, allowing companies to focus on what matters most:R&D, experimentation, and marketing. All essential services are provided, including security, maintenance, waste management, and technical support, in a professional environment accessible24/7.

Unlike many shared laboratories, the Agtech Zone offers a clear and predictable model. Tenant companies enjoyunlimited access to shared scientific equipment, subject to reservation, with no hourly billing or additional usage fees. This approach promotes rapid iteration, operational flexibility, and better control of R&D budgets.

Whether you are in the prototyping, validation, or pre-marketing phase, our spaces can be adapted to your needs. Companies can start with a workstation in a shared laboratory and move on to aprivate laboratory, while retaining access to the same equipment and services, in a spirit of gradual and controlled growth.

In addition to laboratory space, companies benefit fromaccess to the complex's shared facilities, designed to effectively support daily operations and growth. These includehandling and logistics areas, acold room, afreight elevator, as well ascoworking spaces,work rooms,kitchens,terraces, andparking spaces. These shared infrastructures optimize operational flows, facilitate testing and deliveries, and provide a comprehensive, functional, and attractive working environment for teams.
