Canada's prosperity will be shaped by its ability to compete and lead in artificial intelligence, energy, health, and national security. Together, these sectors represent some of the country's greatest opportunities for growth, productivity, and innovation. Realizing that potential will require the talent, research capacity, and cross-sector partnerships needed to translate ambition into economic success.
Canada's Growth Sectors Summit will bring together BHER members and select leaders from business, higher education, and government to explore how Canada can build the talent and innovation capacity needed for long-term growth. Through discussions aligned with BHER's Leadership Tables, members will have the opportunity to act as expert advisors to identify shared challenges, emerging opportunities, and areas for collaboration to strengthen Canada's competitiveness and prosperity.
