MT Lab thanks the City of Montreal for its contribution 200,000 to MT Lab over the next two years. This direct support for the specialized tourism incubator will encourage networking initiatives with major companies.

“We’re enabling the tourism ecosystem to take advantage of startup innovation to better meet the post-COVID needs of travelers. Montreal is a city adored by tourists. We want to enable our key players to plan for the resumption of their activities as soon as possible,” explained Luc Rabouin, responsible for economic and business development, as well as design on the executive committee.

As the first startup incubator dedicated to tourism, culture and entertainment in North America, the MT Lab is also a meeting place for startups and the Quebec tourism community. Over the past few years, it has been able to count on a dozen major partners from the tourism, cultural and entertainment sectors to support its efforts and reach.

This financial aid will help support the MT Lab so that it can continue to play an active role in revitalizing the tourism, culture and entertainment industry.

“I would like to thank the Ville de Montréal for this contribution. This is an important recognition of MT Lab and the actions it has undertaken over the past few years. All of this will enable MT Lab to consolidate its status as a leader in innovation in the tourism industry in Montreal,” said MT Lab Chairman Pierre Bellerose.
