Stradigi AI will create a training ground at Zú to advise the next generation of creators and entertainment experts.

The artificial intelligence solutions provider announced today a partnership with Zú, a non-profit organization initiated by visionary Quebecer Guy Laliberté, to implement cutting-edge solutions in applied artificial intelligence dedicated to creative entrepreneurs in the entertainment industry.

Set to launch in 2019, Zú will bring together talented, young, creative entrepreneurs working in content creation and creative technology in the entertainment sector. Stradigi AI will support Zú’s mission to foster the emergence of projects and startups in these industries by providing resources and specialized training to graduating students in artificial intelligence technology.

“We are excited to welcome Stradigi AI as our exclusive corporate partner for the establishment of the applied AI solutions program” said Zu’s general manager, Nadine Gelly. “By bringing their cutting-edge AI technology expertise to our community and mentoring future creators, they will play a critical role in a movement that will propel us towards the future and drive positive change in the city of Montreal and around the globe.”

The program will happen at Zú’s future site, located in the Complexe-de-la-Maison-Alcan in downtown Montreal. The space will be equipped with state-of-the-art creative tools and software.

“We are proud to help Zú build a dynamic and creative community that will help drive innovation and attract the best local and international talent in the field of AI. This partnership is exciting to us as it resonates with our firm’s DNA,” said Stradigi AI CEO Basil Bouraropoulos. “Giving back to our community and supporting talented creators, who are embracing new trends and working to shape the Montreal of tomorrow, is rooted deeply in our values, and so it aligns with Stradigi AI’s and Zú’s philosophy, making this a brilliant partnership.”
