What Innovitech does
Innovitech is a privately held strategy and innovation consulting firm headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, that supports public organizations, private enterprises, innovation consortiums, and cities in their strategic decisions and major transformation projects. The firm operates five core service lines: Consulting (Strategy and Innovation), Coaching (Business Accompaniment), Management (Collaboration and Entrepreneurship), Consortiums (Integrated Management and Operations), and Animation (Communications and Events). Underlying capabilities center on innovation ecosystem design, multi-stakeholder consortium governance, and event/convening services rather than proprietary technology products.
The firm monetizes through professional services engagements and managed services contracts, with a portfolio that includes long-tenure consortium mandates for CRIAQ (aerospace, since 2004), MEDTEQ+ (medical technology, including fund management for the ~$20M MEDTEQ Invest Fund), CARIC, and GARDN. It also delivers signature event programs such as the Accelerating Innovation Program (supporting 10–20 SMEs annually in aerospace), SAAIC 2026 (Sustainable Airport Areas International Conference), and the Advanced Air Mobility Strategic Workshop. Customers span aerospace, advanced air mobility, defence, health, education, real estate, and government sectors across Quebec, Canada, and internationally through partnerships with GUAMobility and Mont X.
The business is delivered by 80+ professionals under a partner-led governance model, with Sofiane Benyouci having assumed the President and CEO role on June 1, 2026 succeeding Sylvain Cofsky, while founder Camille Gagnon remains Chair of the Board. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific rather than productized, and the firm has no external investment or parent company disclosed. International expansion is pursued through strategic partnerships rather than wholly owned offices, most visibly into global Advanced Air Mobility advisory via GUAMobility.
