Arkangel AI presents its technology at the Imperial Collegue of London

Top entrepreneurs from Canada’s McGill University visited Imperial this week, deepening ties between the two institutions.

Eight startups from McGill’s Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship toured innovation spaces at Imperial’s White City Campus, before pitching their ideas alongside their Imperial peers.

The visit, organised with the Québec Government Office in London, formed part of McGill’s Startup Tour, which gives the most promising McGill startups the opportunity connect with global investors, mentors and fellow founders. It is the first time the tour has left North America.

During the visit, the teams toured Imperial College Advanced Hackspace – a unique facility which provides Imperial staff and student innovators with access to specialist prototyping and manufacturing equipment to help them develop new products and technologies. They also visited the White City Incubator, seeing labs and office space used by startups who are working within the I-HUB’s innovation and translation ecosystem.
