Canada helped pioneer modern AI and is uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of industrial AI adoption. As organizations move from experimentation to production, open model ecosystems—combining open models, open-source software, trusted AI infrastructure, and Canadian innovation—are enabling businesses, researchers, and governments to build AI with greater flexibility, transparency, and control. This session will explore how collaboration across industry, academia, cloud providers, startups, and public sector organizations is transforming AI leadership into long-term economic growth and competitive advantage.
How are open model ecosystems accelerating AI adoption across Canada's key industries?
What does it take to build and deploy AI using Canadian infrastructure, research, and innovation?
And how can collaboration across the AI ecosystem help Canada create lasting economic value while strengthening its global competitiveness?
