As part of ALL-IN 2026, our President and CEO Yvonne Denz will moderate a panel entitled "Canada-Germany Strategic Alliance: Alliance for Industrial Transformation."
Canada and Germany bring complementary strengths to the next phase of industrial transformation, combining sovereign AI capabilities, trusted enterprise solutions, advanced manufacturing and leadership in robotics and physical AI. By connecting expertise across the entire value chain, from foundational models and secure infrastructure to world models, intelligent machines and industrial deployment, the two countries can build a shared model for competitive, resilient and responsible innovation.
Where are Canada and Germany best positioned to combine their capabilities and accelerate the adoption of AI across industry? How can collaboration between AI developers, robotics companies and industrial leaders translate technological breakthroughs into measurable productivity gains? What would it take to build a lasting transatlantic AI alliance that strengthens sovereignty while enabling companies from both countries to compete globally?
