As investment in artificial intelligence accelerates, Canada faces a critical opportunity to build the digital infrastructure needed to support growth while advancing climate, social and economic objectives. Data centres, clean energy systems, grid modernization, and climate technologies will all play an increasingly important role in determining Canada's ability to compete in the global AI economy.
Join Quinn+Partners and the Institute for Sustainable Finance during Canada Climate Week Xchange for a timely discussion bringing together investors, infrastructure developers, policymakers, and sustainability practitioners to explore how Canada can responsibly enable digital infrastructure domestically. The conversation will examine emerging opportunities and challenges associated with sustainable data centre development, clean power deployment and the role of cleantech innovation, venture capital, and climate solutions financing to drive meaningful social and environmental outcomes.
Drawing on perspectives from industry, finance, policy and sustainability, panelists will discuss lessons from leading global markets, evolving expectations for responsible growth, and the actions needed to attract investment, accelerate innovation and strengthen Canada's long-term competitiveness.
Light refreshments will be served.
