Frédéric BoveExecutive Director
Frédéric Bove is a link between knowledge and action: he is an influential player in the exchange between companies (from startups to large corporations) and universities. He acts between today and tomorrow, since innovation, international and communication are at the heart of everything he has done in business (at Moment Factory, a flagship of Montreal creativity), what he has taught (at HEC Montreal), and those he has brought together from 2014 to January 2020 at the Entretiens Jacques Cartier by creating economic, academic and cultural bridges between France, Quebec and Canada.
