Human Capital is at the heart of a new economic age and Canada is at a pivotal nation building moment. Meeting the country’s ambitions in energy, technology, and security will depend crucially on our talent. This is a critical time to ensure we have the right talent and innovation strategy for Canada.
Over the past two months, we hosted a series of nation-wide strategic roundtable events to identify priority challenges and opportunities for Canada’s talent and innovation ecosystem featuring crucial perspectives from regional industry, policy, and post-secondary institution leaders. Leveraging the roundtable findings, the BHER Members’ Meeting aims to uncover concrete next steps to align education with economic needs.
BHER Members and invitees will act as advisors on Canadian sovereignty, productivity, and prosperity, as they take part in tailored sessions aligned with their unique experience and expertise.
