Merci à toi, Simran Kanda, pour cette réflexion profonde et touchante. Tes mots nous rappellent à quel point des espaces comme Women Techmakers Montreal sont essentiels… surtout en ces temps où les progrès semblent fragiles. En ce jour symbolique d’Ashtmi, où l’on honore le féminin, Simran nous rappelle l’importance d’une représentation véritable, non seulement en nombre, mais surtout en esprit. Son message met en lumière le poids émotionnel que représente la diminution des espaces pour les femmes dans la tech, et le rôle crucial que jouent les communautés locales pour maintenir le cap. Nous nous joignons à toi pour célébrer ツ Dr. Stefania Pecore , Houda Kaddioui et Laurence de Villers pour leurs 10 années de dévouement, de service et d’engagement à créer des espaces inclusifs, sûrs et inspirants pour les femmes. Continuons à nous mobiliser, à nous exprimer et à construire ensemble … en conscience, collectivement, et avec bienveillance.

Célébrons les 10 ans de Women Techmakers Montreal Dix années d’impact, de résilience et de communauté. Women Techmakers Montréal a consacré la dernière décennie à créer des espaces inclusifs et ancrés dans la réalité pour les femmes et les personnes de genre divers en technologie avec cœur, vision et engagement constant. À une époque où la représentation reste fragile, leur travail est plus essentiel que jamais. Nous sommes reconnaissants d’être partenaires de ce parcours et témoins de la puissance d’espaces bâtis avec soin et intention. Merci àツ Dr. Stefania Pecore, Houda Kaddioui, Laurence de Villers et à toutes celles et ceux qui ont contribué à cette aventure. En route pour les 10 prochaines années. #WTM2025 #FemmesEnTech #TechnologieInclusive #RedefinirLePossible #TechMontreal

💙 AI WEEK 2025 - MONTREAL SHOWED UP 💙 AI Week 2025 wasn’t just an event,  it was a signal. Our community is alive, resilient, and stronger than ever. Across the city, we witnessed what happens when founders, researchers, students, artists, and ecosystem builders align around a shared vision. Rooms were packed. Ideas flowed. Connections sparked. New bridges were built, some long hoped for, others totally unexpected. And what made it all special wasn’t just the numbers. It was the energy you only feel when something real is happening. Behind the scenes, dozens of community organizers (15+) came together to make this happen. No egos. Just alignment, action, and belief in the collective. That spirit? That’s Montréal at its best. At ElanTech, when we started shaping the AI Week brand, our goal wasn’t to create a single event. It was to build a platform — one where everyone could plug in, show up, and contribute. And wow, did the community deliver. 🔹 Events like AI + Human Agency (Ben Clayton / STS - Strategic Thinking Systems), VR Hacks (McGillXR), Bagel Hacks (Antonio Spiezia, Simon Wang & more), The Scarlet Pitch (McGill Ventures), Beyond the Buzz (Toast) 🔹 Panels and ideathons that sparked new conversations 🔹 Hackathons that brought over 30 projects to life 🔹 Founders, students, researchers, and builders connecting across silos We were proud to lead four anchor events: • Beyond the Bubble (w/ Front Row Ventures + Nucleate) • AI + Tech Ideathon • GenAI Collective Circle • Ocean AI Ideathon (w/ Ocean Startup Project | Projet Startup Des Océans ) And we actively supported two others. But more than anything, we’re proud of how collaborative this week became. 📊 7 days 📍 1,000+ attendees 💬 15+ speakers ⚡ 150+ founders 🤝 300+ meaningful connections 🚀 200+ newcomers to the MTL ecosystem 🌍 100+ participants from outside Montreal But the real impact? It’s in the people. The way we came together, learned from each other, and showed up — not just for AI, but for Montreal. AI Week reminded us: the strength of Montreal’s AI scene is its community. 📝 Share your thoughts to help shape 2026: https://lnkd.in/eRNu8bzw This was just the beginning. Let’s keep creating. Let’s keep growing. Let’s keep making an impact. #AIWeek2025 #MontrealAI #ElanTechEcosystem #StartupCommunity #WeBuildTogether
