Accelerated.

Five years after pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions galvanized Western economies into one of the most ambitious reshoring initiatives ever undertaken, where are we now? How have Canada and Canadian companies responded? What are the market ramifications?

Join us November 25-26 in Vancouver as we explore the surprising consequences for Canada’s semiconductor sector and its growing integration with the industries that power the economy. 

Incorporating the themes “Innovation. Accelerated.” and “Integration. Accelerated,” we’ll take stock of this historic recalibration and the unexpected opportunities that are emerging. 

We’ll spotlight the West Coast’s high-impact quantum and photonics ecosystems and the industries they’re influencing. Emblematic of Canadian research prowess and commercial ambitions, both have been energized as AI and its associated processing demands disrupt the foundational infrastructure of the 21st century.
