Montréal is enriched by the talents of its artists, their creativity, and their originality; its reputation in this sphere extends far beyond our borders.
In fact, our city’s extraordinary cultural vitality is one of its most distinctive assets, acknowledged and appreciated throughout Canada and around the world. The many festivals, shows, and cultural institutions that enliven the city’s cultural scene – winter and summer alike – give it a unique character. Its abundant and diversified cultural offer enhances Montréal’s undeniable appeal and helps attract top international talent, who are often bewitched by its charm to the point of choosing to live here.
Of course lovers of culture and Montréal all wish to see our city become a major cultural metropolis, but for this dream to be realized, much remains to be done.
One of our priorities is to strengthen the links between business and the arts. To this end, we aim to increase the number of encounters organized between these two sectors.
With this in mind, the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, in partnership with TP1 Internet 360, offers businesses and cultural organizations a one-stop solution where they will find all the information they need to forge strong, durable ties between the worlds of business and the arts in Greater Montréal.
I hope that the resources made available on the Montréal Arts and Business portal will inspire fruitful, enriching, and innovative collaborations.
