We wanted to take this opportunity and emphasize IV\u00c9O\u2019s positive impact on Concept GEEBEE\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Technop\u00f4le IV\u00c9O?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Created in 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iveo.ca\/\">Technop\u00f4le IV\u00c9O<\/a> establishes links between the cities\u2019 needs in sustainable mobility and companies that provide solutions and technological innovation. IV\u00c9O\u2019s mission consists of two aspects: first, help small and medium-sized cities implement sustainable solutions on their territory, and second, help commercialize sustainable mobility innovations.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of IV\u00c9O\u2019s goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Respond to cities\u2019 existing and emerging issues<\/li>\n<li>Serve as a steppingstone for innovative companies in sustainable mobility<\/li>\n<li>Promote the adoption of new sustainable technology<\/li>\n<li>Facilitate new technology implementation through pilot projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>GEEBEE\u2019s early adopter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the beginning, IV\u00c9O made GEEBEE part of its circle as an innovative solution that meets challenges from the municipal sector. Technop\u00f4le IV\u00c9O offers personalized support that allowed us to implement our electric scooter in several cities such as Sherbrooke, Blainville, Candiac, Boisbriand, Varennes, and others.<\/p>\n<p>What makes IV\u00c9O unique is its pragmatic approach with direct and rapid action. They also have connections with numerous project managers and political decision-makers across the province which helped us gain visibility throughout IV\u00c9O Cities Network. All of this has greatly accelerated our integration into the business market.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to IV\u00c9O, Concept GEEBEE was able to set up multiple pilot projects for various GEEBEE use. These use tests allowed us to restructure our offer to better serve the needs of our customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some GEEBEE pilot projects initiated by IV\u00c9O<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iveo.ca\/projet\/mobilite-electrique-des-agents-municipaux\">GEEBEE start-up project<\/a> was launched in cities such as Sherbrooke, Sainte-Julie, Hampstead, and L\u2019Assomption to optimize municipal officials\u2019 daily trips. Police officers, park wardens, and public work officers can now use GEEBEE for their work trips. This use has numerous advantages: lower fuel costs, no noise pollution, easy maintenance, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iveo.ca\/projet\/recreotourisme-electrique\">project of electric recreational and tourism<\/a> was developed, mainly with the city of L\u2019Assomption. GEEBEEs are made publicly available to tourists that want to visit the area.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Concept GEEBEE\u2019s international development was heavily initiated by IV\u00c9O. Indeed, a collaborative project with Nevers, a French city member of the Technop\u00f4le, resulted in the creation of an assembly site and a large fleet of vehicles available for both municipal officials and residents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have many other ongoing projects!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Testing of our new cargo vehicle with L\u2019Assomption<\/li>\n<li>Testing of our docking stations with Varennes<\/li>\n<li>Testing of our fleet management solutions with artificial intelligence with Sherbrooke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Monday, Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019\u00c9conomie et de l\u2019Innovation announced that the Technop\u00f4le IV\u00c9O will receive a $1.2 million grant for its Municipal Innovation Consortium project.
