Canada’s priority sectors need more than investment. They need the people, ideas, and partnerships to deliver.
One month after the Prime Minister’s Investment Summit, the Business + Higher Education Roundtable (BHER) and RBC, will bring together BHER members and select leaders from business, higher education, and government to focus on the next question in Canada’s economic agenda: what will it take to deliver?
The discussion will draw on BHER’s Leadership Tables in AI, energy, national security and health, alongside broader opportunities emerging from Canada’s investment agenda. Our goal is practical: identify the partnerships, commitments, and next steps needed to deliver on Canada’s economic ambition.
