SUCCESS STORIES

A Mitacs intern helped Montreal’s innovation hub, Quartier de l’innovation, to develop an AI-guided autonomous bus to solve food-insecurity issues in the city’s Little Burgundy neighbourhood.

With support from Mitacs, Cypher Environmental’s innovative solution could save companies and municipalities millions of dollars in maintenance and environmental clean-up every year
