Day 1 of the BMI Think Tank Study Trip 2024: Exploring Impact Through Deep Tech   This year, our Think Tank study trip is focused on the transformative power of deep tech, starting in the vibrant city of Montreal and later this week continuing on to Boston. Our goal for 2024 is to immerse ourselves in both ecosystems, contrasting their unique approaches to innovation and exploring strategies to enhance technology adoption from research into impactful, real-world applications.   Our journey began at Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, where Robson Beaudry introduced us to Mila's pioneering research in artificial intelligence and their focus on fostering AI adoption across industries. Mila is a key player in accelerating AI’s impact on business and society.   Next, we joined Guillaume Chicoisne and Jean-François Bruneau from IVADO, an organization dedicated to connecting research, industry, and startups with top talent in AI. Their insights provided us with a deeper understanding of how Montreal’s ecosystem leverages collaborative networks to drive innovation across sectors.   In the afternoon, we spent valuable time at Centech Mtl, a leading incubator for deep-tech startups, where we engaged with Julian Lucchesi, M.Eng. and Richard Chénier from Québec Tech. They shared insights on Montreal’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and the support structures in place for startups and entrepreneurs.   Finally, we were welcomed by representatives from the City of Montreal: Nicolas Marino MSc, Maha Berechid, Xavier Paillon, MBA, Valérie Poulin, and Jean-Christophe Sinclair. They gave us an overview of Montreal’s economic development initiatives and unique factors that make Quebec a standout in North America’s innovation landscape.   We are truly grateful for these insightful and inspiring encounters. A special thanks to the startups at Centech who generously shared their ideas with us – your innovation and dedication are inspiring!   #Innovation #DeepTech #Montreal #Entrepreneurship #BMIThinkTank #TechAdoption #ArtificialIntelligence #Ecosystem #EconomicDevelopment #ResearchToMarket #TechStartups

The Italian Tech Week was quite an experience (and what a venue!) with energy, vibes and the (not anymore so vague) belief that Italy can build a healthy ecosystem for startups, digital nomads and investments. Through various panels, interviews and super interesting topics/discussions around AI, investing and startups - Sam Altman stole the stage but it wasn’t just that - some common elements raised quite clearly, such as: . Build with a broader (EU) landscape, solve a larger scale problem . Small markets could even be an advantage, being closer to the few initial customers . Let the investments flow, changing the “low attitude to risk” in Italy/EU vs US (failing is crucial and much needed, don’t shy away from it but embrace it) AI is a powerful tool to make all this happen, let’s leverage on it and make everyday obstacles obsolete. #ai #product #startups
