Digital Economy Blueprint

The headline objective is the definition of a blueprint for a 21st century Digital Economy.

From Digital Identity through the Blockchain, the synthesis and national roll out of key technologies will provide a platform for an entirely integrated, digital society.

"Canada’s leadership in AI is growing every day. With the recent $5 million government loan, Element AI is already expanding its global footprint. Thank you Navdeep Bains for your ongoing support and commitment to making Canada an AI leader."

— Jean-François Gagné, CEO, Element AI

our bold vision

Showcasing Canada’s Digital Pioneers

A key activity will be to showcase the many pioneers of digital innovation across Canada, via an industry, technology and regional focus, such as highlighting innovators in British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

Industry Policy

Where Canada is lagging the world, such as their slowness to adopt Open Banking policies, we’ll help elevate these topics to encourage greater urgency for action.

Digital Leadership

We’ll also highlight the individual thought leaders, such as Don Tapscott’s exemplary work to develop Canada as a global leader in the Blockchain field, as well as the businesses blazing a trail in AI.

Our Digital Disruptor series showcases the CIOs and innovators leading Canada’s digital transformation.
