Artificial intelligence – a video to promote Montréal around the world - Montreal International

Montréal International used the opportunity of the 31st Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) Conference, which had over 25,000 attendees this week in California, to launch a video promoting Greater Montréal as a world leader in AI, before all the international talent and investors at the conference. The video is titled Montréal, an Artificial Intelligence Powerhouse, and features several headliners in the industry, including Yoshua Bengio (Université de Montréal), Doina Precup (McGill University), Hugo Larochelle (Google Brain), Yann LeClun (Facebook), as well as the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. The video highlights all of Montréal's advantages and the deep collaboration between research chairs, laboratories and entrepreneurs. "Home to over 250 leading researchers and a one-of-a-kind collaborative ecosystem, Greater Montréal has become one of the world's most attractive AI hubs in less than two years," said Hubert Bolduc, President and CEO of Montréal International. "Last year, an impressive 20% of the investments we facilitated were in the AI sector, which continues to draw influential top players," added Mr. Bolduc.
