Ax.C Montreal, Place Victoria, 800 Rue du Square-Victoria 3e étage, Montreal, QC, H3C 0B4, CA

Following the success of last year's event MIF Evolution is back for a 2nd year! As before, this is a one-time cash-prize pitch contest that brings together all teams from the MIF ecosystem: past, present and future! Yes, you read that correctly: even teams who have not yet been accepted to the program are encouraged to take part and show their stuff. Note, however, that there will be a pre-selection, and that only the six best teams will be allowed to compete on the day. Registration for this segment is pending.

This event is made possible thanks to support from Desjardins Caisse des technologies who have generously provided cash prizes for the competition. Please browse the tabs below to learn more about this opportunity.

 

Format

Each pitch will be a maximum of three minutes, with additional time for a brief Q&A with the judges. We strongly advise teams to practice this short form of pitching. Pitches will be evaluated for the quality of their presentation, and the potential impact of the technology/project.

Prizes

$4,000 in cash is up for grabs!

 

Judges

Samir Mounir, Senior Director, Desjardins Caisse de Technologies
