• IVADO Labs is closely linked to us, but we are two different entities (and we also occupy two different buildings!).
• We work on projects with technology readiness levels (TRLs) 1 to 5 (from scientific research to proof of concept), while IVADO Labs handles projects with TRLs of 5 to 9 (encompassing the development to market launch phases). 
• IVADO Labs is one of the core execution partners of SCALE AI, Canada’s AI-Powered Supply Chains Supercluster.

• We bring together a number of research centres, Mila among them, active in multiple fields encompassing data science, artificial intelligence and operations research. Mila’s specific focus is machine learning. 
• Our primary role is to connect our community of researchers with industry players.
• Unlike Mila, we are not a research centre.
• We do not directly host interns, fellows or students.
• We do not conduct research projects at our institute.
• We provide financial levers to help foster collaborative research.
