MISSION

Connecting the Engineering Community.

HISTORY

The Corporation de services des ingénieurs du Québec was established in 2002, after the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec decided to focus on its primary mission of protecting the general public. Ever since, the Corporation has functioned as a totally independent entity from the OIQ.The Corporation de services des ingénieurs du Québec first became known by engineers under the name SERVIQ. From November 2006 to June 2017, the Corporation ran under the name Réseau des ingénieurs du Québec, and became Genium360 after a decision taken by the Annual General Meeting on October 2016.

FINANCING

Genium360 financing is based exclusively on the development of partnerships and the use of its services by members. A portion of the profits generated by its partners is paid to Genium360 in exchange for marketing efforts made with its members. The organization is also funded though our continued training programs, our job and internship posting, advertising and sponsorships in our communications and at our various events.
