Poly-World

Poly-World (in French: Poly-Monde, Russian: Поли-Мир, Ukrainian: Полі-Світ) - is a student committee based in a French-Canadian engineering school, Polytechnique Montréal, in Montreal (Quebec, Canada).

This committee was founded in 1990 by a group of young students from different engineering fields that wanted to develop their knowledge of business processes, competitiveness and innovation on an international level. These students, François Nadeau, Claude Benoît and Normand Gadoury, therefore organized Poly-Japan, the first mission of what became an independent engineering program orientation at undergraduate level at École Polytechnique.

The primary objective of this student committee is to enable its members to discover competitiveness, innovation and business processes in Quebec companies and then compare their findings on foreign soil through industrial visits to counterpart companies. Each year, the Poly-World council, which includes all coordinators of previous missions and a few teachers, is responsible for the selection of the different industrial sectors that will be studied. These sectors are judged competitive for Quebec and Canada and include aviation, aerospace and pharmaceuticals.
