Connecting, exploring, innovating: 50 years of commitment to helping clients turn ideas into action
For 50 years, CGI has worked alongside clients across industries to help turn innovation into practical, measurable progress, with a constant focus on advancing ideas that create business value. In Montréal, this story reflects that commitment through the opening of CGI’s innovation center in 2020, creating a collaborative space where clients and CGI experts can explore emerging technologies, co-innovate and accelerate transformation.
In 2020, CGI opened a new innovation center in Montréal to showcase cross-industry innovation developed with clients from around the world and create new co-innovation opportunities.
The center was designed to give clients and business leaders an immersive experience using virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence and other tools built around emerging technologies, CGI’s leading industry innovations and CGI’s intellectual property solutions. It also includes a state-of-the-art design thinking space where clients, guided by CGI experts, can build digitization roadmaps and spark new thinking, from ideation to rapid prototyping, through a process designed to generate applied innovation. For CGI partners, the center provides a collaborative space to test, evolve and share innovations with clients and the local community.
Designed to help clients identify, prioritize and apply relevant innovations to improve performance, the Montréal innovation center reflects CGI’s practical, client-focused approach to innovation. At the time of its opening, more than 65 Montréal-based and international clients had already explored the center as part of its phase-one pre-launch. CGI also positioned the center as part of its broader innovation ecosystem and local collaboration model in Canada.
