Testimonial from Dr. Alan Pope
on HEC Montréal Tech3Lab
Lookingatthelablastevening,thelyricthatcametomindwas
from that philosopher Cat Stevens:“I have been happy lately
thinking about the good things to come, and I believe it could
be something good has begun,”and that is what I think of
when I see the Tech3Lab, that something good has begun
there, and something that’s unparalleled in any other
place that I know of, not even our facility.
