The '''National Optics Institute''' (INO) is a [[Quebec City]]-based private [[Nonprofit corporation|non-profit corporation]] founded in 1988. INO is a technological design and development firm
==History==
INO was officially created in 1985 at the instigation of the [[Université Laval]], which, at the time, accounted for half of Canada's researchers in [[optics]]/[[photonics]], as well as the [[Canadian Association of Physicists]], the [[Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council]] of Canada and various partners in the [[Quebec City]] area. Its function is to be a centre of expertise in [[optics]] and [[photonics]] and to assist companies in acquiring a competitive edge and developing their business. INO aims to generate at least one spinoff company every year out of its scientific and technological research. The company has offices in Quebec City, Montreal, Hamilton and Edmonton.
INO was a pioneer in [[optics]]/[[photonics]] research for industrial development purposes, and
INO started its operations in 1988.
==Expertise==
INO's technology and research programs include:
Since its creation, INO has helped create 28 companies, made 50 technology transfers to the industry, and carried out some 4,500 service contracts for businesses

==Company
INO is administered by a board of directors and advisory committee composed of experts in the field. The 18 members of the board are from the private sector as well as various universities and areas of government.<ref>
==International Society for Professional Innovation Management (ISPIM)==
The first [[ISPIM]] took place in Singapore in December 2008 and was followed by a second event in New York City in December 2009. The idea behind the symposium was to hold an event outside of Europe, which is traditionally where the main ISPIM symposium takes place. Delegate numbers have steadily increased, and 185 people attended the New York event.
INO was host to the 3rd ISPIM symposium. Held from December 13 to 15 2010 at the Quebec City Convention Centre, the symposium allowed approximately 150 academics, business leaders, consultants and other professionals involved in innovation management from over 40 countries to exchange ideas and develop new paths for partnership.<ref>[http://www.ispim.org/files/ISPIM_Quebec_Symposium_Programme.pdf ISPM Quebec Symposium Program]{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>▼
