Cross-border collaboration strengthened between Saint-Hyacinthe and Viçosa

At 2025 IASP World Conference in Beijing, two long-standing IASP members, Saint-Hyacinthe Technopole (Canada) and tecnoPARQ (Brazil), came together to renew their cooperation agreement, reinforcing the spirit of international collaboration that defines our global network. 

The agreement marks a new chapter in a productive partnership that has already seen successful exchanges between both regions. With this renewed commitment, both organizations aim to deepen their collaboration in the agri-food and animal health sectors, while also supporting internationalization for startups and sharing expertise in innovation and incubation. 

“This agreement reflects our commitment to continue positioning Saint-Hyacinthe and its region as a major player in agri-food innovation on the international stage,” said Karine Guilbault, General Director of Saint-Hyacinthe Technopole. “It opens up new opportunities for our startups and businesses by strengthening ties with a dynamic innovation park like tecnoPARQ.” 

As members of the IASP community, Saint-Hyacinthe Technopole and tecnoPARQ embody the kind of cross-border collaboration and knowledge-sharing that our association exists to foster. Their renewed partnership is a powerful example of how connections made through the IASP network can lead to impactful, long-term alliances.
