Testimonials

"Ferme d'Hiver is becoming a leader in controlled environment agriculture and winning an innovation award at the MTL Tech Awards was a great recognition of the innovative aspects of our vertical farm concept integrated with greenhouses. Participating in events such as MTL connect is an opportunity for us to promote agricultural issues within the Quebec tech ecosystem. We will continue our efforts so that the community becomes more and more interested in the world of sustainable and intelligent agriculture.."

"This is a precious recognition for a young organization like ours whose mission is to help the public become better informed and to develop critical thinking in order to fight against disinformation."

"Winning the Women in Tech for Good Award gives us visibility on social networks. That's great! That's what a small business needs. For me, it's really the #1 benefit." L’autre impact que je vois aussi rapidement, c’est l’agrandissement de notre réseau de contacts grâce aux mises en relation avec les partenaires des MTL Tech Awards notamment, et aussi les rencontres réalisées à Lisbonne le soir de la remise des prix."

"The participation in the MTL Tech Awards - and the recognition of the Revelation Award - were among the major elements that allowed us to establish the credibility of our concept in the last quarter of 2020. Winning the award also allowed us to gain the support of essential partners for the development of our approach and our services on an international scale."

"Serenus.AI was proud to win first place at the 2020 MTL Tech Awards. This is a significant recognition for years of hard work. Serenus.AI has a big vision to improve healthcare delivery while saving valuable resources, and the MTL Tech Awards was a great opportunity to spread our message."
