In January 2018, the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal held its first Strategic Forum on Artificial Intelligence in order to decode the impressive progress of AI, mobilize the business community and encourage the creation of a supercluster.
Following the resounding success of this first gathering, the Chamber held a second Strategic Forum on AI on February 18, 2019. This forum aimed to bring together the main AI players around common goals in order to solidify Montréal’s AI ecosystem.
After two successful editions, the Chamber is pleased to invite you to a third Forum, on February 24, 2020. This year we would like to facilitate synergy between different players in Montréal’s AI community in order to strengthen Montréal’s position as an AI hub.
This event will focus on accelerating corporate action and the adoption of AI and encourage the creation of new, innovative projects.
