Félix works with large private firms, governmental organizations, and small non-profits across Canada, helping them bring their big ideas to fruition. He guides projects by offering expert strategic advice, as well as providing support in public relations, whether with government or between businesses.
Félix specializes in shepherding economic development projects focused on innovation — expertise he gained in part while working on the development of the Quebec government's ''Innovation zones'' program in the cabinet of the Minister of Economy and Innovation (MEI).
Félix has a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Ottawa and has completed postdoctoral work at The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva. He is now an Associate Professor at the Université du Québec à Rimouski.
He also owns and has invested in several businesses in New-Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario, and thus understands the needs and concerns of business owners.
When he is not busy at work, Félix likes to kick back and enjoy a good book, as well as to spend time with his partner, family and friends. Otherwise, you may catch him indulging in his passion for speed, whether riding on his motorcycle or skiing down the slopes.

Jean-Michel holds a Master's degree in Letters (Ancient Studies - Laval), as well as undergraduate degrees in English (Calgary), Persian (Tehran) and Arabic (Concordia), the visible markers of an obsession; a desire and a wager all at once, to get to the bottom of things through an ever more generous height of vision.

Jean-Michel holds a Master's degree in Letters (Ancient Studies - Laval), as well as undergraduate degrees in English (Calgary), Persian (Tehran) and Arabic (Concordia), the visible markers of an obsession; a desire and a wager all at once, to get to the bottom of things through an ever more generous height of vision.
He also draws on his long experience in research and writing to offer fresh, penetrating analyses of the salient issues facing professionals involved in stimulating innovation throughout Quebec. As Senior Director, Communities and Research, Jean-Michel is committed to creating strategic intelligence tools that will best serve InnovEco's clientele, and in particular the members of Forum Innovation.
An enthusiast of rare books and all the more rarefied ideas, cheerfully grumpy and gently non-conformist, Jean-Michel lives in Quebec City with the love of his life, his three children and his two old cats.
