The Quebec Innovation Barometer, an initiative of the Quebec Innovation Council, aims to draw a portrait of innovation in all its forms and to follow its evolution through interactive data, studies and relevant analyses.

CIRANO is proud to contribute to the development of this tool based on four pillars: economy, employment and human capital, environment and social innovation. Several CIRANO researchers have participated in the production of two publications on labour and human capital and on the economy.
