Dany Plourde

Tech transfer and innovation advisor

Technology Transfer and Innovation Advisor at IVADO. My goal is to set up innovation projects between organizations, researchers, and graduate students in artificial intelligence and data science. I am responsible for promoting the adoption of AI in several sectors of the economy, including digital education, agri-food, culture, finance, media, and the environment, using a sustainable development approach. My responsibilities include networking among stakeholders, facilitating technology transfer activities, including the AI Industrialization Community of Practice, and setting up structuring initiatives for a sector of activity.

Previously, I was involved in reducing the ecological impact of animal production, promoting animal welfare, and reducing the waste of natural resources through genomics. I am as interested in the natural sciences as I am in the social sciences.
