OPEN INNOVATION
Realize your innovation ambitions with technologies developed by Zú startups
Whether you are a large company, a small business or a not-for-profit organization, one of the key requirements for your organization’s growth is innovation.
Open innovation leverages external resources, ideas, technologies, creativity and know-how to keep the company’s business model and operational strength on the cutting edge of innovation.
Startups are one of the major proponents of an open innovation initiative. Why? Because startups have the agility required to quickly develop a proof of concept. Your organization can then focus on its mass deployment and save a great deal of time, an increasingly scarce resource in a labour shortage environment.
Since 2018, Zú has supported over 90 startups through its incubation and acceleration programs. You can count on these many creative entrepreneurs, technologists, artists and creators to meet your business challenges.
Meet the startups that are working on the solution that will keep your organization on the cutting edge of innovation.
A pool of creative people and entrepreneurs, the innovation marketplace
You should not have to wait for creative entrepreneurs to address your business challenge or need for innovation. Through the large startup portfolio with which Zú has partnered, you benefit from a direct and individualized connection with those who will give you a head start.

Hôtel Bonaventure x Orangead :
“Zú introduced us to Orangead and it was a great experience! They met several needs through a single technology solution: streamlining the posting of content online and generating a new revenue stream. The product is very easy to use and the team was able to adapt it to the reality of the hospitality industry. They have assisted us from A to Z, from implementation to training. They also offered solutions that we hadn’t necessarily thought of. A great experience!” – Sarah Maisonneuve – Sales and Marketing Director at Hôtel Bonaventure Montréal
