  Alain Chandonnet

  After more than thirty-five years of experience in the technology sector as an entrepreneur, researcher, executive, and innovation manager, Alain Chandonnet is making the leap into provincial politics under the banner of the Quebec Liberal Party. A physicist by training and holder of a Ph.D. in laser physics from the prestigious Center for Optics, Photonics, and Lasers (COPL) at Laval University, Alain Chandonnet began his career in industrial research at the National Institute of Optics (INO). In 2000, he went into business by co-founding TeraXion, a high-tech company specializing in the development of optical components for ultra-high-speed fiber-optic telecommunications networks. A few years later, he also founded Handyem, a company specializing in the development of portable biomedical analysis instruments. In 2017, after several years in the private sector, Alain Chandonnet was appointed president and CEO of the National Institute of Optics. At the helm of the organization, he spearheaded a major transformation that culminated in the merger of the INO and the Montreal Computer Research Center (CRIM), giving rise to Luqia, Quebec’s largest industrial innovation center for companies working in the fields of photonics, quantum technologies, and artificial intelligence. In addition to his career as a technology entrepreneur, Alain Chandonnet is the author of several scientific publications. Recognized by his peers, he now wishes to contribute to the public debate by drawing on the intellectual rigor and scientific approach that have guided his professional career. Against a backdrop of profound global technological transformations, his joining the Quebec Liberal Party underscores the importance placed on innovation and cutting-edge technologies in the economic vision championed by party leader Charles Milliard. Deeply rooted in his community, Alain Chandonnet was also a member of the Capitale-Nationale Project Committee, an initiative of the Quebec City Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIQ). In that capacity, he championed Quebec City’s status as the national capital.
