Canada is one of the top destinations for foreign direct investment (FDI), and in our turbulent world, Canada's country risk remains very appealing.
Abundant natural resources make Canada a prime location for investors looking for advanced R&D and world-class expertise in energy, minerals and metals, forestry, geoscience and sustainable resource management.
It is the 3rd largest producer of hydroelectricity, 4th largest producer of oil and uranium and the 5th largest producer of natural gas in the world.
It is also estimated that $200 bn per year of incremental investment is required by 2030 to address Canada's ageing infrastructure, population growth, and climate goals (1).
Whether you are investing in natural resources or infrastructure, your project is expected to touch Indigenous lands.
Investing in Canada means partnering with Indigenous Peoples.
The Summit brings all of the key stakeholders together to share the path of successful investing, learned lessons and opportunities on the horizon.
