Mathieu Bock-Côté

Quebec in the Face of the Modern World
A lively discussion, followed by an open forum

With Mathieu Bock-Coté

Our world is undergoing a period of profound transformation: geopolitical upheavals, economic uncertainty, a technological revolution, demographic shifts, and growing polarization.

How are these changes redefining the ways we live, work, and think? And what will be their impact on Quebec?

Some key questions at the heart of this lecture:

- Can our economy withstand the coming global upheavals?
- Will artificial intelligence transform our lives… or will it get one step ahead of us?
- How far can our societies become divided before losing what unites them?
- In a world dominated by major powers, can Quebec still chart its own course?
- Are we truly ready for the changes of the coming decades?

An accessible and thought-provoking conference to better understand our changing world, challenge certain assumptions, and reflect on the choices that lie ahead.

A chance to think differently—and exchange ideas freely!
