Affordable education, bilingualism, multiculturalism, creativity – these are qualities that Montreal is known for having in spades, and might explain why there’s an abundance of tech talent.
Montreal is also one of the most affordable cities in North America for tech startups, with labour and overhead costing about half as much as Silicon Valley. For years, the city was known for being an increasingly important hub for AI/IT companies to set up shop.
