“This is a must-attend program for innovation professionals and the creative community. The blend of academic and industry perspectives is unmatched and packs a whole semester of insights and interactions in just a few weeks. Each year, the program introduces fresh perspectives, core foundations, and a dynamic new community of creators.”

«The Summer School is a mecca for creative thinking. Following a hands-on, multidisciplinary, and interactive approach, the program offers a unique opportunity to challenge your assumptions and explore the various dimensions of creativity in multiple sectors while connecting with an exceptional group of renowned, passionate professionals and deeply inspiring students. It has definitely changed the way I view the world and our future. »

“The summer school was a unique experience for me. I’ve never seen researchers and industry people establish such a level of conversation. I was very impressed with all the unheard-of connections between nature and design or creativity and bureaucracy that emerged from this conversation.”

Octave Niamié, Assistant Professor, Summer School 2021
Polytechnique Montréal

«It also gave me new ideas to implement in my business  innovative processes. My  promotion colleagues brought me a new vision and tools that I have not in my network […] The interaction between students , teachers and professionals, it allowed something … magical.»

Mylène Mastrotefano, Legal and Intellectual Property Advisor,

«I found there not only friends but business partners.The people with whom I create businesses
today shares the same physical space than us ! So our summer school relationship went really far, it’s been like a business incubation space, but also friendship. During the summer school , there are several people that not work in the same industry than you and this is what makes the whole point of the concept.»

Yves Lapierre, Founder and Administrative Counsel President ,

«The Summer School approach is extremely valuable. It allows the cross-fertilization of ideas and competencies well beyond its 2-week duration.»
