The Minister of Transport and Quebec Lieutenant, Pablo Rodriguez, today announced an investment of over $2.6 million for two projects in Montreal under the National Trade Corridors Fund.
The digital project and study selected for investment intend to harness data and technological solutions to generate supply chain efficiencies along key Canadian trade corridors.
The Government of Canada will contribute:
- Up to $2.6 million to the Centre interuniversitaire de recherche en analyse des organisations (CIRANO) in Montreal to implement a data science and knowledge transfer hub for trade and intermodal transportation in the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes Corridor.
- Up to $50 000 to CargoM to implement an automated tool to identify available indoor and outdoor storage spaces in the Greater Montreal area which will improve fluidity and reduce supply chain congestion in the Port of Montreal area.
The Government of Canada continues to make investments to strengthen the country’s supply chains, promote economic growth and enhance opportunities for businesses to expand into global markets.
