Exploring the World
Montréal
A cold place with warm people. Well-known for its slow pace compared to Toronto, Montreal is actually boosting up its innovation ecosystem, and namely attracting many Francophone students around its top universities such as McGill, HEC, UQAM and Concordia. Thus, many young entrepreneurs launch their startups there, before probably exporting either in the USA, either in France !
Le salon 1861
You would probably never see another space like that, it is actually located inside a church. Besides its very particular architecture, the space is about to be certified as an Impact Hub, a first step in its mission to build a community through social business models for a collective future.
