“NL is small. But we have the main EU sea-port, the main airport, The best Internet Exchange. We are so rich and we can make so much. If there would be political will we can make a healthy eco-system with computers.
We need to have a conversation on what kind of eco-system we want.”

“Also companies are not throwing there models out there. Mistral did try, but we need to look at different ways of opening the tech. Maybe we need to make a CERN for AI.”

"We are still seeing how we can use GPT-NL. If this is clear, we can look at the governance structure. We want to guardrail that it can't be bought by an US company. So we are working on a AI ánd a business model. And it seems we can't release it into the open. We want to have an application; that is used fair, so we can't just throw it our there”

#Toronto - #EarthMonth 2026
All of April 2026
Free & Low-Cost Programming | Most Events Free
"What is Earth Month at the Brick Works?
For over 15 years, #EvergreenBrickWorks has been Toronto’s demonstration hub for sustainability: a repurposed historic site that proves what’s possible when we reimagine public space for people and planet. Every April, we open our doors to a whole month of programming in celebration of that.
Earth Month at the Brick Works brings together community organizations, environmental educators, artists, local vendors and Torontonians interested in exploring the things that matter:
How do we live more sustainably? How do we create less waste? How do we reconnect with the natural world right here in the city?"
