En plein centre-ville montréalais se niche le QG du LabVI, un laboratoire urbain d'expérimentation de calibre international.

Créé à l'initiative de Vidéotron, en collaboration avec Ericsson, l’ÉTS et le Quartier de l’innovation, le LabVI cultive un écosystème d’innovation unique en son genre, s’illustrant notamment dans les domaines de l’Internet des objets, du développement d’applications et de l’hyperconnectivité.

Le «hub» technologique de l’ÉTS est une vraie mine d’or; les start-ups et les étudiants ont d'ailleurs accès aux milliers de données qui y sont conservées.

Avec le soutien de Vidéotron, le laboratoire teste des algorithmes technologiques dans des conditions optimales, encourageant ainsi la collaboration entre les milieux académique, entrepreneurial et citoyen.
