MT Lab's Key Partners

The MT Lab was founded by the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and its School of Management Sciences (ESG UQAM), and thanks to the support of Tourisme Montréal, the project was made possible. Financial support from the Ville de Montréal and the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l’Occupation du territoire enabled the premises to be set up in the heart of the entertainment district.

The Major Partners Committee is made up of industry leaders who identify priority themes and help companies to validate their business model and land their first customer or new customers in the tourism, culture and entertainment sector.
