==History==
INO was officially created in 19881985, 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 [[Québec City]] area. Its mission is to be a world-class center of expertise in [[optics]] and [[photonics]] that assists companies in improving their competitive edge and developing their business. INO aims to give birth every year to at least one spinoff company born from one of its scientific and technological outbreaks. The company holds offices in Québec City, Montréal, Hamilton and Edmonton.
INO was a pioneer in [[optics]]/[[photonics]] research for industrial development purposes and is today Canada’s leading center for industrial research and commercialization. Its technological breakthroughs and innovative processes and applications combining [[optics]] and [[photonics]] have helped many Canadian companies stay competitive in their respective fields.<ref>[http://www.ino.ca/en-CA/About-us/history.html INO Website - History]</ref>
