OWIT-Toronto was invited to the 2025 Ontario Economic Summit, which this year featured the thought-provoking theme of Leadership Across Borders. Political leaders, prominent bankers, and business executives all weighed in with insights on issues of the day, from Canada’s response to trade tensions with the US, to the transformative potential of AI. They had plenty to say about Canada’s move from reliance on one market to diversifying to other markets, about investments in AI, infrastructure, defence and critical minerals, and about the importance of Indigenous participation in the latter. Despite all the challenges of a rapidly changing global landscape, a definite consensus emerged that with challenges come opportunities.
