An entrepreneur in the finance sector, Jean-Jacques Degroof has years of experience in the development, growth, and leadership of business ventures related to asset management. In addition to his entrepreneurial pursuits, Jean-Jacques Degroof has worked in a teaching capacity at business schools located around the world, including a role as a teaching assistant at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Earlier this year, MIT hosted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at its annual flagship meeting for Solve at MIT, an initiative geared toward the development and dissemination of technology-based solutions to global issues. In his speech to the gathered crowd, Trudeau spoke of the importance of embracing the changes brought about by global diversity and technological innovation, rather than adhering to outdated practices and giving in to fear. The prime minister had previously expressed support for technological development and the sweeping changes it was sure to bring at other major tech events, including Google’s 2017 Go North event, held in Toronto. At this appearance, he spoke of his intention to lead Canada toward a future where the government invests in programs like artificial intelligence, robotics, and other “groundbreaking areas.” Above all, he means to encourage entrepreneurship in his country. Luckily, it appears that the values Trudeau championed at MIT and Google are moving forward in 2018. He was recently celebrated alongside President of France Emmanuel Macron for entering into a partnership to study inclusive and ethical AI practices.
