Exploring AI Use Cases, New Technologies, and the Foundations of SME Productivity
Next week, LevelOps will be in Sherbrooke as part of the QuébecTech Networking Tour during the Journée stratégique : Innovation & Productivité, an event organized in collaboration with Entreprendre Sherbrooke, Économie Estrie, and the Maison régionale de l’industrie. This day brings together entrepreneurs, manufacturers, technologists, and innovation leaders from across the region.
The goal: help SMEs discover new ways to boost productivity through automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, and modern operational systems.
While emerging technologies offer powerful opportunities, many SMEs still struggle with adoption — not because the technology isn’t ready, but because their internal execution systems aren’t. What we see every week with manufacturing and tech companies is clear: technology amplifies performance only when the underlying structure is strong.
At the Sherbrooke event, we’ll share:
Real AI use cases that create measurable operational value
How SMEs can prepare their teams, processes, and systems to adopt new technologies successfully
Practical execution frameworks that allow innovation to translate into real productivity gains
Lessons from our work with high-growth firms, tech companies, and manufacturers across Québec
The day focuses on the tools that can strengthen Québec’s manufacturing ecosystem: automation, robotics, digitalization, and AI. These innovations are powerful, but they require structure to work.
For SMEs, that structure comes from:
Clear priorities
A disciplined execution rhythm
Well-defined processes
Teams that are aligned and accountable
With these elements in place, new technologies stop being “projects” and start becoming productivity engines.
Estrie has always been a region known for innovation and collaboration. This event creates a space where entrepreneurs and operators can exchange ideas, discover practical solutions, and build relationships that accelerate transformation.
We’re excited to contribute, share our perspective, and help companies understand how to scale smarter with the right operational foundations.
A full recap will follow after the event.
