FUELLING MONTREAL'S STARTUP COMMUNITY About MTL NewTech is a non-profit organization dedicated to the success of Montréal startup entrepreneurs. Every first Tuesday of the month 4-6 startups present in front of an audience of programmers, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, students etc. Our community is enthusiastic about technological innovation and eager to discuss new trends, see new products and services and connect with global startup ecosystems. These monthly meetups feature demos which are recorded and the videos also showcased via social media and press coverage after the event. In addition to the startup demos, we also aim to educate and bring successful entrepreneurs to the community through keynotes or panels. Of course, the event is an incredible opportunity to meet potential co-founders for your next startup, or find valuable talent.
