Future Economy Summit Part III: Maximizing the Impact of Public Sector Capital
Building on the no-holds-barred topics explored from Part I & II of Foresight's Future Economy Summit, we’re taking the conversation to Ottawa to engage policymakers, public officials, and decision-makers on how public sector investment can take Canada from worst to first in the race to net zero.
Public sector capital holds the power to ignite progress where it's most needed, fueling ambitious projects, de-risking private investment, and catalyzing new levels of innovation, economics, and sustainability. This summit holds space for the candid conversations about Canada's performance around industry innovation, economic development and competitiveness with 120+ government and ecosystem partners.
This isn’t about incremental shifts—it’s about unlocking massive potential, accelerating cleantech adoption, and transforming the global economy at scale.
This event is in partnership with Invest Ottawa.
