Why Canada. Why Now.
Canada’s Investment Case
The Government of Canada will host the inaugural Canada Investment Summit on September 14 and 15, 2026, in Toronto, convening the world’s largest investors, leading CEOs, entrepreneurs, and global business leaders around new investment in Canada. The Summit focuses on nation-building projects and related opportunities across defence, major infrastructure, Indigenous partnerships, technology, energy, critical minerals, and food and agricultural resilience.
Target
$1 Trillion
The Prime Minister’s April 2026 announcement positions the Summit within a broader plan to catalyze $1 trillion in total investment over five years, creating career opportunities for Canadians and strengthening Canada’s economic resilience.
Advantage

Canada’s case to investors rests on its energy and natural-resource base, skilled workforce, and strong fiscal position, underpinning national AI research leadership and onshore compute ambitions.
Market Access
1.5 Billion Consumers
Preferential access to approximately 1.5 billion consumers through 16 free trade agreements covering 51 countries, giving Canadian-built software a direct route into global markets.
