Milieux x MTL Connect 2026

Milieux is excited to partner with Printemps numérique for the 8^th edition of MTL connect. This annual international event brings together entrepreneurs, researchers, industry professionals and artists to explore the evolving challenges and issues of the digital revolution.

On October 14^th, Milieux will host a delegation of international curators and industry professionals for a tour of the Institute followed by a 5 à 7 in the atrium on the 11^th floor.

This event is a fantastic opportunity for members to showcase their research and creative work with professionals and peers in an informal setting. It’s also an amazing chance to connect with other members, so even if you can’t present a project, we invite you to join us to celebrate the research-creation at the institute.

Here are some pictures from last year event:
