Montréal, October 20, 2014 – Since the launch of its open innovation platform, iseemtl.com has received almost 60 concrete projects proposed by leaders, organizations and businesses that want to help revitalize the city. By October 31, 2014, I see mtl organizers hope to have received up to 120 projects, which will be discussed during the major event taking place on November 17 at Place des Arts.

Launched by BMO in partnership with the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, I see mtl is a movement driven by leaders from every sphere of society who want to help restore confidence and pride in the city and its economy. On November 17, I see mtl will bring together 1,000 engaged citizens to discuss some 120 structuring, measurable projects headed up by leaders who commit to seeing them through. The ambition is to help restore Greater Montréal’s momentum and bring more prosperity to the region.
