Extreme Blue in Montréal

By Heri Jul 25th 2007 in entrepreneurship

IBM Montréal has now a team for the Extreme Blue program this summer. Extreme Blue is IBM’s most advanced internship program, where 3 students software engineers and 1 student MBA team up to work on an emerging business opportunity, usually based on a cutting-edge technology. It started in 1999 in Cambridge, MA but there is now a team in Montréal. From the official website:

Through the program, interns have submitted more than 270 patent disclosures and contributed six projects to the open source community, two for alphaWorks, and helped create solutions for key clients and bring-to-market the next generation of IBM products. Not bad for just 12 weeks.

I think this is a great initiative from IBM, although I have no idea what the montréal team is working on.
