Welcome to the now "annual" Canadian AI Ecosystem Map. What a year it's been. The report also goes to feed the excellent (and searchable!) directory at Canada.ai. The point of creating this map was to emphasize that the strength lies in the Canadian AI Ecosystem, as opposed to just one city's. This year, we've seen ties strengthen, but also some weaknesses exposed.

I've been putting together a map on Canada's AI ecosystem, which I first revealed last week in my keynote on C2 Montreal's main stage. As promised, I'm publishing that map at the bottom of this post. Given the speed at which the industry is progressing, this map is constantly evolving, so I'll be sharing updates as we add them. If you have an addition to make, drop me a line! UPDATE June 13, 2017: Last week I posted V1 of my Map of the Canadian AI Ecosystem, and since then I've been inundated with additions.

UPDATE June 13, 2017: Last week I posted V1 of our Map of the Canadian AI Ecosystem, and since then I've been inundated with additions. While it's still incomplete, I thought it was important to update the map currently being sent around and reinforce the idea that this ecosystem is in constant flux. Already, our list has mushroomed from about 160 startups to over 550. Goes to show how much is happening just below our attention.
