On 12 November 2017, Montréal’s daily La Presse+ published Part I of a special dossier on the Foundation, tagging it as a cross between an innovative community, a vital meeting place, and an unique network.

Part II of the dossier, published the next day, gave the podium to fellows Bessma Momani and Catherine Potvin and to scholar Tammara Soma, who shared their visions of the economy of the future. On the menu: diversity, renewable energy, and the environment. +
