Concordia University

Concordia University is a large, comprehensive public research university in Montréal with an applied, collaborative culture and strong engagement with industry. Employers access talent through a long‑running co‑op program that integrates paid, full‑time internships with academic study, and through an on‑campus innovation hub and accelerator that helps founders and researchers advance market‑ready solutions. Companies also work with Concordia via a centralized Office of Research that manages partnerships, intellectual property and technology transfer to streamline agreements, licensing and collaboration. Research is supported by Canada’s Tri‑Council agencies and by major infrastructure awards from the Canada Foundation for Innovation. A dedicated commercialization pathway guides teams from invention disclosure to licensing or venture creation.
