The Printemps numérique, through its flagship event MTL connect, is firmly committed to decoding the future’s possibilities. That is why, for this 5th anniversary edition, the event will bring together crucial themes under a common banner: Connected and Smart Territories. Join us from October 10 to 13, 2023, at NAD School in Montreal and online.
At the heart of this reflection lies the transformation of communities, whether rural or urban. How can collective practices become the architects of positive change? Connected territories seek to transcend physical boundaries, creating living spaces where connectivity fosters the sharing of ideas, resources, and social innovation. MTL connect will explore how technology can be harnessed to strengthen the social fabric, thereby preserving the very essence of our communities.
Here’s a preview of the must-see activities:
Conference on the Subtle City with Eric Cassar
Éric Cassar (Arkhenspaces) invites you on an immersive exploration of these augmented territories: a dive into a tangible future where cities become subtle and responsive, stimulating, facilitating, and amplifying collective intelligences and emotions. By improving the ecology of the urban environment, these cities pave the way for new possibilities, shaped by the harmonious alliance between technology and human sensitivity.
Meeting of Excellence Sectors by Écotech Québec
Amélie Bergeron-Vachon, as Director of Partnerships and Networking at Écotech Québec, will host this meeting. The goal is to highlight the region’s technological expertise, promoting Quebec technological excellence and opening new perspectives for the advancement of the digital industry.
Lunch Conference on the Digitalization of the Healthcare System by Alexia Proulx
Alexia Proulx (Petal) will address the necessity of digitalizing the healthcare system. While the answer may seem obvious, it comes with significant complexity. In recent years, the healthcare sector has modernized by increasingly integrating cloud-based solutions into its processes. Explore how it is possible to improve the healthcare system in a different way: not by saving lives, but by developing applications for those who do.
Workshop on Data Use by Julia Stamm
The responsible use of quality data is crucial for informed decision-making, especially in the face of current challenges such as climate change and social inequalities. This is particularly critical for urban and regional stakeholders. How can data be made accessible and reused for the common good, particularly to improve public services and citizens’ quality of life? Dr. Julia Stamm (The Data Tank) will explore the concept of a social license, a participatory framework aimed at unlocking data for global benefit, with a responsible and sustainable approach.
