With over a thousand AI and machine learning companies and some of the world’s brightest minds in the field, Canada continues to attract global talent and capital. As a result, global companies are choosing to locate in AI hubs across the country to get access to the deepest and highest quality pool of AI talent.

Come and listen why for key members of our ecosystem, and from two of our startups sharing their journey.
