ConcordAI Artificial Intelligence Hackathon

ConcordAI aims to help address Montréal’s AI training and talent gap by identifying remarkably talented individuals who are highly motivated to work in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. We offer these individuals the chance to acquire experience and skills in these fields by giving them the opportunity and support to provide real value to startups and established companies, and to push the boundaries of AI in research and development and open innovation projects.MTL NewTech is a non-profit organization dedicated to the success of Montréal startup entrepreneurs. Every month 4-6 startups present in front of an audience of programmers, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, students etc. Our community is enthusiastic about technological innovation and eager to discuss new trends, see new products and services and connect with global startup ecosystems. These monthly meetups feature demos which are recorded and the videos also showcased via social media and press coverage after the event.In addition to the startup demos, we also aim to educate and bring techies and entrepreneurs to the community through hackathons, keynotes, panels, career fairs etc. Of course, the event is an incredible opportunity to meet potential co-founders for your next startup, or find valuable talent.

Diversity
 
Artificial Intelligence Concordia strongly supports diversity in tech and we do so by prioritizing the selection of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, minorities, Indigenous Peoples and differently abled individuals for 75% of the spots available at our AI hackathon and 12-week program. 
 
Given the impacts of AI on the world we live in, we believe that the population should be appropriately and fairly represented in tech in order to ensure that everyone’s interests, contributions and creativity are reflected. You are all valuable and you are all important.
