Back in the spring, Chris Herbert from Silicon Halton and Mi6 Agency interviewed Scott MacDonald of McRock Capital in the lead up to the 2018 IIoT Symposium that took place in Montreal in June. While IIoT industry leaders might not envision Canada a "hotbed of IIoT innovation compared to Silicon Valley," Herbert said, "the best-kept secret, is due in part to McRock Capital... and the hub is in Canada." Montreal is home to a strong IIoT community which includes, more broadly, other technology start-ups and investors, organizations, employees, journalists and other groups making important contributions to AI and other digital innovations. Worximity is happy to be part of this community. Below is a list of just a few of the Montreal groups and organizations helping people to develop and make these contributions. In no particular order.
