About Event

Canada is a global leader in AI innovation, but leadership alone isn’t enough. As AI adoption accelerates, the question becomes: how do we protect Canadian data, talent, and intellectual property while competing on a global stage?

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion on AI and technology sovereignty, where leaders from industry and the innovation ecosystem will explore what it takes to keep Canadian tech Canadian. The conversation will focus on scaling innovation without losing control - balancing growth, investment, and security in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

This session will deliver practical perspectives on ownership, policy, and strategy, equipping Canadian organizations to innovate with confidence and maintain a competitive edge at home and abroad.

Following our panel discussion, join us to network with peers in the technology and AI ecosystem in Toronto and beyond.
