In this conversation, we revisit the spirit of MTL connecte and explore some of today's most pressing issues: AI, cybersecurity, digital monopolies, language, regional development, and the fundamental question we all need to ask: where does our data go... and who decides?

Featuring:
• Isabelle Veilleux, Director of Economic Development, City of Gatineau
• Mehdi Benboubakeur, Executive Director, Printemps numérique / MTL connecte
• Thierry Harris, Co-founder, Savoir Innover

Topics include:
• Gatineau–Ottawa: a cross-border region with unique challenges
• Why French in technology is a strategic issue
• The real battleground: data sovereignty and cybersecurity
• Keeping people at the center: "Technology should serve human dignity, not the other way around."
• Partnerships with tangible impact: agreements, bridges, and collaboration
• Gatineau's new Technology Innovation Hub: a bold vision becoming reality
