Montreal Tech Watch

16/11/2011: Montreal’s tech community received another pleasant treat from the Quebec government. Just recently they announced the Montreal Open Data initiative and today we find out about the “Stratégie québécoise de l’entrepreneuriat“.

The new initiative has a goal of building up Montreal’s entrepreneurial scene. Strategic investements were made into new and existing projects which contribute to the overall growth of businesses in Quebec.

Government recognized Maison Notman as a unique collaborative environment which encourages creation of new companies and awarded it an investment of 750,000$.

Montrealtechwatch has been closely following the Maison Notman house project from it’s very beginning. It’s a great pleasure to see the project take one step closer to becoming the biggest startup hub of it’s kind on the East Coast and one of the biggest startup hubs in the world.
