In the current context, we have redesigned this great gathering to offer you an exceptional opportunity to continue connecting startups with the community and the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Montréal. This year’s gathering will be 100% virtual and put economic recovery at the heart of the presentations of these talents who have been able to move forward, reposition themselves and seize new opportunities despite difficult times.
La grand-messe Mtl inc. will take place over 4 mornings, from October 28 to November 6, each bringing together up to 10 emerging companies in a specific industry sector. Discover their product / service during a pitch competition, vote for your favorite startup, connect with them during privileged meetings, and browse the marketplace to receive, at home, the products that caught your eye!
Reward the most promising startups that are the pride of Montréal and attend their confessions during captivating discussions on their adaptability, their resilience and their reinvention in these times of pandemic.
