MONTREAL – Software development and quality assurance tester Askida has joined the Technopolys initiative, a strategy to bring together the best technology companies in Québec to help them stand out at the national and international level.
Technopolys’ strategy will be deployed in two phases: engaging organizations and companies (2017), followed by a promotional campaign targeting the right audience (2018-2019). The central message, conceived by the industry for the industry, will be conveyed by ambassadors Yoshua Bengio, scientific director at IVADO; Isabelle Bettez, cofounder of 8D technologies and a board member of Motivate; Sylvain Carle, a Real Ventures associate; Serge Godin, founder and executive board chairman of CGI; and Louis-Philippe Maurice, CEO of Busbud.
“Québec’s technology industry is currently facing a number of challenges,” said Askida CEO and co-founder Steeve Duchesne, in the news release. “Decisions taken today will help the companies of today and tomorrow reach their full potential. Technopolys is a fantastic initiative that will allow us to combine our voice with that of Québec-based technology companies. Together, we can accomplish great things.”
