Now We Build: From National Priorities to Practical Progress

March 11, 2027 | Toronto

Canada’s next phase of growth will depend on decisions leaders make now: how to prepare people for major projects, put new technologies to work, and turn research strengths into commercial opportunities.

Those decisions reach across organizations and sectors. Employers need education and research partners who understand their challenges. Post-secondary institutions need clearer signals about where demand is heading. Governments need partners with the capacity to deliver.

BHER’s Executive Summit 2027 brings these leaders together to build the partnerships Canada’s ambitions require.

With a focus on AI, energy, health and life sciences, and national security, the Summit will examine where joint action can make the greatest difference and what it will take to get promising projects underway. The agenda will draw on opportunities emerging through BHER’s Leadership Tables and member conversations, connecting national priorities to concrete challenges in workforce development, technology adoption, and commercialization.

Join senior leaders and potential partners to:

  • Identify opportunities for your organization to contribute its expertise, talent, research, or investment.
  • Work through the barriers to delivery, including uncertain demand, gaps in training capacity, and the coordination needed to move projects forward.
  • Build relationships around shared needs, with a focus on practical next steps.

Bring your toughest questions, your experience, and your ambition for what we can build together.

BHER members will receive registration codes directly. Agenda and speaker announcements will follow.
