Over the years, the EU-Canada Business Summit has always provided an opportunity to address relevant topics related to the current economic situation in Canada and Europe in a global context. Once again, this year, against a backdrop of geopolitical upheaval and redefined trade alliances, Canada and Europe are being called upon to strengthen their strategic partnership. This increased collaboration will extend to key sectors such as defence, artificial intelligence, research and development, strengthening economic alliances and market diversification.
