The SCALE.AI project, co-chaired by Louis Roy, president of the Optel Group, promises to be an important source of economic growth and collective wealth not only for Canada, but for the province of Quebec and the Québec City area as well. On that topic, the research and business communities have made major contributions to this project. More specifically, the leadership and involvement of the Optel Group, COVEO, Maison Simons and Laval University, important players and jewels of Québec City’s innovation and business communities, have been invaluable to its success.
With its cutting-edge expertise in optics-photonics, information technology, electronics and robotics, the Québec City area stands out on the world stage as a leader in technological innovation. By drawing on all this expertise, the Québec City area is in an excellent position to make its mark and seize the opportunities offered by the growth of artificial intelligence.
The Optel Group will be presenting the SCALE.AI project on April 9th during the first Rendez-vous IA Québec organized by Laval University’s Institute for Information Technologies and Societies (IITS) and Centre de recherche en données massives (CRDM_UL), AIworx and Québec International. The event will take place during the 3rd edition of the Semaine numérique de Québec.
