    About the Summit

    The summit provided a comprehensive overview of the opportunities for Indigenous participation in Canada. As 470 major projects, representing over $525 billion in capital investment, are set to impact Indigenous lands, the potential for involvement is rapidly expanding. This summit offered a clear perspective on the future landscape for investors and those interested in investing in Indigenous businesses in Canada. It created a platform for meaningful dialogues addressing questions about economic reconciliation, strategic approaches, land use, and Indigenous rights. Recognising Indigenous consent as a critical factor for the success of major projects, the summit highlighted its importance as a business imperative. Attendees gained a competitive edge in understanding and navigating these opportunities, making it an essential event for anyone looking to invest in Canada.

    Panel Discussions

    Navigating the Future:
    Energy Transition and Indigenous Leadership in Canada

    Energy transition is a crucial aspect of the Canadian economy, and investing in this sector necessitates a deep understanding of the impact of initiatives and projects, especially those that have not undergone thorough assessments by Indigenous communities. The Panel Discussion brought together business leaders from the energy sector to discuss the importance of respectful investing. It highlighted successful projects involving Indigenous communities, such as the transmission line, demonstrating the benefits of collaboration and mutual respect in achieving sustainable development and economic growth. 

    Building Tomorrow:
    Indigenous Partnerships in Canadian Infrastructure

    Creating holistic investments with tangible results is the core objective of infrastructure projects. As business and Indigenous leaders discussed the progress of investments supporting housing, education, cultural programming, recreational sites, and even mental health, it became evident that the landscape of Indigenous communities is transforming. This panel discussion gave importance to achieving a return on investment while illustrating how investing in Indigenous communities can help investors reach their goals. The dialogue highlighted that sustainable and inclusive investments not only help develop economic growth but also contribute to the well-being and development of Indigenous communities.
