QUÉBEC, May 22, 2024
/CNW/ - In front of a distinguished audience at Rideau Hall,
the Governor General of Canada,
Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, presented the 2024
Innovation Award to Quebec-based
company Innodal for its product INNEO. Laurent Dallaire and François Bédard,
co-founders of Innodal, received the award with pride and
honour.
"When François and I first came up with the idea of starting
the company in 2017, we never could have imagined that it would
bear fruit at this level. Our vision of offering natural solutions
for better management of food production and consumption has been
and continues to be the driving force behind our commitment.
Healthier and less damaging food for everyone was our vision. It
has become our mission," stated Laurent
Dallaire, CEO of Innodal.
It is worth noting that the anti-Listeria solution INNEO acts as
a shield, guaranteeing the microbiological protection of food. It
eliminates the risks associated with contamination by Listeria
monocytogenes in a variety of food products. It is important to
mention that INNEO is the first antimicrobial protein approved by
Health Canada.
The Governor General's Awards for Innovation aim to honour
excellence in innovation and inspire Canadians to become innovative
entrepreneurs. The awards are presented to companies whose
innovations are exceptional, transformative and have a positive
impact on the quality of life in Canada.
"We aspire to play a pivotal role in enhancing food safety.
We intend to actively contribute to the development of natural
antimicrobials and biotechnologies within Canada. We aim to innovate and transform the
food industry for the good of society," concluded François
Bédard, CTO of Innodal.
