Connecting two AI Powerhouses
A new window of opportunity has opened for closer collaboration between Canadian and German AI ecosystems. Germany's newly established Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation (BMDS) and Canada's updated national AI strategy create the perfect conditions for deeper partnerships.
What to Expect
The symposium brings together leading companies and ecosystems from both countries for high-level exchanges on:
- National AI strategies and policy frameworks
- AI capacity in compute, capital, and talent
- Concrete collaboration opportunities for business and ecosystem engagement
- Future workstreams for Canadian-German AI cooperation
Organized on the sidelines of the G7 Industry, Digital and Technology Ministers' Meeting, this event builds on the successful business roundtable held in October 2025 in Ottawa during the Canada-Germany High Level Steering Group on Bilateral Cooperation (HLSG).
Who Should Attend
AI companies, ecosystem leaders, researchers, and innovators looking to forge meaningful cross-border partnerships between Canada and Germany. This exciting invite-only event will connect innovators to explore AI partnerships.
About the organizers
The project is executed by the Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (CGCIC) in close cooperation with the German Missions in Canada and supported by the Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation (BMDS).
