Mobilizing Capital at Scale: Financing Canada's Next Growth Chapter
9:45–10:30 a.m.
Canada is entering a pivotal moment. The country possesses extraordinary advantages across energy, infrastructure, critical minerals, technology, and talent, but realizing this opportunity will require unprecedented levels of investment and collaboration among government, industry, and global capital providers.

The Global AI Economy: Capital, Sovereignty, and Canada’s Competitive Future
12–12:45 p.m.
Artificial intelligence is redrawing the foundations of economic power, and leadership will depend on the ability to mobilize capital, build computing and energy infrastructure, and commercialize innovation. For Canada, the challenge is converting strengths in research, talent, and energy into companies, intellectual property, and productive capacity that can scale. Digital sovereignty is not self-sufficiency; it means retaining enough capability and strategic choice while staying connected to global markets and trusted partners. This discussion will examine where Canada must build domestic capacity, and what policy and investment conditions can turn early AI leadership into lasting competitiveness.

12:50–1:35 p.m.
In an environment shaped by technological disruption, evolving markets, and economic uncertainty, long-term success depends on how investors and business leaders work together to structure capital, strengthen balance sheets, and build resilient, future-ready enterprises. This conversation will explore how leading investors and executives are redefining value creation through strategic partnerships, the migration of credit from banks to private markets, and disciplined long-term alignment with the businesses and limited partners they serve.
