Is your business leveraging the extensive knowledge and creativity of Montreal’s unique university community to speed development of your products?

All products are becoming ever more complex, as interconnectivity, interoperability, remote access – the Internet of Things – and their design requires mastery of an ever expanding range of technology. As a start-up or SME, you cannot expect to maintain all required expertise in-house.

Join us to learn how McGill University makes it easy and efficient to use talent in its Electrical and Computer Engineering department to support your innovation, and use government grants to stretch your R&D dollars.

Meet the leaders of several McGill development teams active in different technologies relevant to the Internet of Things to hear about McGill developments currently available to you and capabilities available to work on your specific projects.
