Grand final of Season 2 of the i³c Challenge!
How is hybrid work influencing the dynamics of the cities of tomorrow?
This was the question put to nine university teams which, through a quantitative analysis based on data science, had to recommend an acquisition and/or disposal targeting a specific location or geographic area, as well as one or multiple asset classes.
First place was won by the HEC Montréal team of Mady Semega, Yacine Ndiaye and Joel Chrispin for developing a flexible prediction model based on geographic and macroeconomic data.
Second place was awarded to the McGill University team of Anthony Lagaras Aburquez, GaEun Kim and Christophe Lam for creating a supervised predictive model to understand the impact of hybrid work on population migration patterns.
Third place went to the HEC Montréal team of Quentin Lao, Marieve Gendron and Sara Beddouch for their econometric approach centred on the use of vector autoregression (VAR).
A special Innovation prize was awarded to the Université Laval Faculty of Business Administration (FSA Laval) team of Ousmane Ibn Bachir Camara, Auriane Agbogba and Samuel Roussin for their creative investment project in Orlando that combines various functionalities to create an integrated and sustainable urban environment.

For this latest edition, our Information Technology team launched a new challenge, combining finance and data analysis, to drive our future investments:
“How is hybrid work influencing the dynamics of the cities of tomorrow?”
Why i3c?
It is the intersection of the four pillars of the challenge: real estate investment, innovation, interuniversity and community.

A look back at the previous edition of the i³c Challenge
During the 2023 edition of the i3c Challenge, seven teams competed to address the issue of “How to identify the cities and places of tomorrow.”
With the support of mentors from Ivanhoé Cambridge, the teams took on the challenge of proposing financial models to identify innovative investment opportunities while upholding our ESG commitments.
First place was awarded to the HEC Montréal team composed of Félix Poirier, Islam Abdelatif and Alexandro Tomassi for creating a neural artificial intelligence model based on a meta-analysis of geographical data.
Second place went to the HEC Montréal team comprising Félix Laporte-Blackburn, Remy Arnou and Sarah Poudrier for their model offering ESG recommendations through a scoring system.
Third place was awarded to the Université Laval Faculty of Business Administration (FSA Laval) team of Yohann Piché-Nguyen, William Pelltier-Rioux and Amal Bousnane, for creating indicators of quality of life in places.
