Industry Connect Canada 2026

Industry Connect Canada is a one-day, capital‑intensive industrial event built around bankability, live assets, energy security, and internal capital fights.

What You'll Gain:

  • Access knowledge and expertise from over 200 leaders in cement, steel, mining, chemicals, oil & gas, finance, technology and policy – the people who own the assets and control the capital.
  • Assess the challenges and solutions not only in Toronto but across Canada’s entire industrial base. Take an active role in Decision Circles, working groups and 1‑2‑1 meetings to enhance the value of your time on site.
  • One full day of in‑person collaboration, followed by a networking supper with drinks and buffet – no separate ticket. Through informal dialogue, breakouts, roundtables and the hosted buyer programme, you will forge relationships that help you move projects forward.
  • Speed is imperative – but we talk about money and execution, not climate. Develop a clear plan for cutting energy costs, protecting competitiveness, and delivering investable projects. Get out from behind your desk and come away with the connections and insights you need to get your project unstuck.
  • Leave knowing how to make a change. On‑stage presentations, case studies from live assets, and implementable ideas from peers and solution providers will enable you to feel ready for what’s ahead.

Why Canada, Why Now

  • Energy costs rising – Quebec industrial rates up 3.6% annually. Carbon pricing hits CA$140 by 2040. Competitiveness eroding.
  • Reshoring accelerates – Canada ranks #1 for nearshoring. Bill C-5 compresses project timelines from 5 years to 2.
  • Policy in flux – CUSMA review looms July 1. Federal climate ambition softens. Industry invests for market access, not compliance.
  • Capital urgent – Decarbonisation investment fell 7% in 2025. $110–220 billion at risk without clean power build-out.

Decisions made now shape the next decade.

Bringing together industrial leaders, energy providers, technology innovators, investors, and policymakers to solve the power, capital, and execution challenges shaping Canada's industrial future.
