This post is brought to you in partnership with Talent Montréal. They’re bringing some of the hottest tech teams from their city across to London to chat about their tech scene at #SMRnov19. We asked them to tell us about Montréal, its tech scene & some of the companies from it. Be sure to stop by to say hello!
Montréal, a great place to live and work
Over the past few years, Greater Montréal has carved out a place for itself as a leader in Technology and the Montréal region now has the highest concentration of technological jobs in Canada. The dynamism of Montréal’s AI ecosystem makes the city shine with its 15,000 experts.
Greater Montréal stands out in many ways, including its favourable cost of living through affordable rent, generous family allowances and inexpensive daycare centres. The city is also known for its exceptional quality of life: it placed second in the world for millennials on Nestpick’s ranking, and has earned the title of city with the best reputation in the Americas by the Reputation Institute. Canada is a country of choice for expatriates. In 2019, it ranked first among G7 countries as the best destination for expatriates according to the Expat Insider study, one of the most comprehensive surveys of international life in the world.
Talent Montréal’s team will be on hand at Silicon Milkroundabout to answer questions about quality of life in the city, the labour market and immigration procedures. They’ll be joined by seven companies from the Montréal tech scene:
