iFact encourages iC – first incubator + campus for creative entrepreneurs in Canada
We are very glad to share with you some exciting news about the
collaboration of our firm with iC - the first incubator + campus for the
creative and cultural industries in Canada which is participating in the “I see
mtl” event organized by the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal. Over more
than a year, iFact’s team has accompanied Dawson College and CÉGEP du Vieux
Montréal, instigators of this initiative, in the development of this concept.

iC- incubator + campus for creative entrepreneurs; Rodier building in Montreal's Innovation Quarter |
Through its unique approach combining an incubator and entrepreneurial
campus concept, iC’s objective is to create an environment fostering crosspollination
between people with creative and technological background as well as promoting
exchange between students, entrepreneurs, ‘underground’ community and industry
leaders. The entrepreneurial campus will offer various pre-incubation programs
by concentrating on value creation and startup of entrepreneurial projects,
while the incubator will accommodate and support emerging companies by creating
and animating a network of resources (experts, mentors, financing, market
access).
We invite you to encourage this project by voting
on the "I see mtl" platform.
We would also appreciate your
comments on this project, which will contribute to Montreal’s DNA as a Creative City. It will be a pleasure to discuss with you the future of this stimulating
project for the Metropole.
