Foundation - Previan

Giving Back

In line with our DNA, the Previan Foundation aims to support entrepreneurial ideas, especially those based on science and innovation, and to encourage projects that can have an impact on the environment and its communities.

Giving back to the community has always been a part of who we are at Previan. The social challenges Previan’s co-founder and CEO, Martin Theriault witnessed growing up in Québec’s lower town neighbourhood of Limoilou, inspired his longstanding philanthropic interest in this richly diverse community. It has become part of our DNA to create a positive impact on our communities, whether through our products and technologies or through the engagement of our people.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs, helping them to start their own business and implement promising projects. We support the courage of those who dare to bring their ideas into reality, especially those of young people. To build a better future for all, requires passionate, entrepreneurial mindsets.

INNOVATION & SCIENCE

Innovation is in our DNA. We want to support forward thinking projects which will have a positive future impact. Our focus is on promoting local initiatives within research, technology and science, driven by those who have the audacity to think differently. This is how we will produce the next generation technology and build a better future for all.

ENVIRONMENT

Promoting projects which have an impact on our communities and places we live and helping minimize risks to nature. We believe that if we act locally, we will have a global impact.
