UK-Montreal Artificial Intelligence Summit

Fasken Martineau was proud to host the UK-AI cocktail in collaboration with the UK Consul General of Montreal in conjunction with the UK-Montreal AI summit. Clearly Montreal is becoming a leader in AI as evidenced by the participation in the summit of some the leading Montreal and UK AI entrepreneurs, thought leaders and researchers. We had several queries from the participants about setting up subsidiaries in Montreal so there is momentum in Montreal's favour regarding tech businesses and attracting talent to Montreal. If you are seeking to establish your company in Montreal or anywhere else in Canada, do not hesitate to contact our Emerging Tech practice through me. Thanks to Nick Baker, UK Consul General in Montreal, for giving us the opportunity to host the cocktail thus allowing us to meet an amazing group of entrepreneurs and researchers in the AI space.
