Our annual Canada 360° Economic Summit works to mobilize the Canadian business community to apply its ingenuity to find the bold policy solutions needed for Canada to compete in a changing economic landscape. It is THE premier event for business, government and key Canadian leaders to shape the national economic agenda.

Seizing Opportunities in Disruptive Times

Beyond the impacts of the past three years, Canada’s economic landscape is facing a complex new set of challenges. From soaring inflation and shifting demographic trends, to an uncertain global geopolitical landscape and an accelerating number of extreme climate events, Canadians are living through disruptive times. Our Canada 360° Economic Summit will look at how Canadian business leaders can better understand the challenges ahead and seize the opportunity to chart a clear path forward for all Canadians.

This panel will discuss the potential Canada has to grow our economy with the right set of investments in trade infrastructure.  

The Demographic Crunch and the Workforce/Innovation

Shifting demographics and record retirements have created an extremely tight labour market and unprecedented labour shortages in Canada.
