It\u2019s amazing that life is slowly returning back to normal. You can almost feel the joy in the air with summer in Montreal fast approaching. People will finally be able to see their friends and family again. Most of us are in the fortunate situation of being able to go back to worrying about more mundane things. Unfortunately, this isn\u2019t the case for everyone. Montreal is an amazing cosmopolitan city yet has a dubious distinction. It ranks last when it comes to those who live below the poverty line in North America.<\/p>\n
Two worlds<\/strong><\/p>\n The technology sector in Montreal is well on its way to making its presence felt on the global stage. More & more companies are being formed and Montreal is not far behind Toronto in terms of venture capital investments. There is an amazing acceleration of the ecosystem that has taken 15 years to build. The MTL tech ecosystem is about to have its moment in the sun. Yet, we shouldn\u2019t forget about the community we live in.<\/p>\n There is something we can do<\/strong><\/p>\n The Montreal technology ecosystem wasn\u2019t built by a single person or organization. It took a community of people, entrepreneurs, investors and mentors to come together and work for the greater good. It\u2019s now time to give back to the greater community. We\u2019ve proven that we can make a difference if we work together. For that reason, a small but committed group of individuals started TechAide<\/a> as a means of giving back. Its mission is to inspire the Montreal tech ecosystem to get together to give back to our local community. We\u2019ve benefited enormously from being part of a community, now it\u2019s time to give back. I hope that you\u2019ll join us, help us eradicate poverty and make the city a better place.<\/p>\n Nectarios Economakis<\/strong> It\u2019s amazing that life is slowly returning back to normal.
