About AI in Montreal, from the article:

"Few, if any cities in the world, can boast to hosting groups from Facebook AI Research, Microsoft Research, Google Brain, Deepmind, Samsung Research, and Thales CortAIx. Moreover, Montréal is home to many of the best research centers in the world, including IVADO, McGill University’s Center for Intelligent Machines and the world-leading Montréal Institute of Learning Algorithms (MILA).

But what some would say is even more exciting, is that Montréal has become the best place in the world to build an artificial intelligence startup. Montréal raised the most venture capital in Canada in the first quarter of 2018, and virtually every day a new round of funding is announced. This avalanche of startup activity started just under two years ago, when Element AI raised the largest Series A ever for an AI startup. Automat closely followed with their series A, and Lyrebird raised money from some of the most known venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. More recently, mnubo, Algolux and C2RO have all completed funding rounds. And this is only the tip of the iceberg."
