1ST CANADA-ITALY
BUSINESS FORUM ON AI
SPOTLIGHT ON EMILIA-ROMAGNA
The AI landscapes in Italy and Québec are certainly rich with potential synergies and
opportunities for collaborations, technology transfers and research projects.
The ICCC strongly believed this was the ideal time to bring together, for the first time, Canadian and Italian AI stakeholders, universities, research centers, SMEs, start-ups, incubators, as well as international-caliber key-note speakers and panelists, during an inaugural world-class event in Montréal in September 2019.
