Join the Institute for Research on Public Policy for 
Canada’s Next Economic Transformation: Industrial Policy in Tumultuous Times
, a one-day conference to be held in Ottawa on Tuesday, September 16.
Canada is facing a range of urgent challenges. Disruptions to the global trading system, threats to our sovereignty and security and rapidly evolving artificial intelligence will affect how we work and live. Add to that concerns about a changing climate, an accelerating energy transition, the need to address housing affordability and the impetus for Indigenous economic reconciliation and it’s clear the next decade will be pivotal.
Governments do not have the fiscal capacity to address these challenges on their own. They need to collaborate with the private sector to build, manufacture, and innovate to achieve results as quickly as possible.
To discuss how to best approach these challenges, Canada’s Next Economic Transformation: Industrial Policy in Tumultuous Times brings together public servants, academics, researchers, corporate leaders and other policy influencers from across Canada.
The opening conference keynote will be given by American economist and author 
Noah Smith
. The lunch keynote will be given by 
Premier R.J. Simpson
.
Focused panel sessions will be dedicated to key issues related to industrial policy. Featured panelists include 
Steve Verheul 
(former assistant deputy minister of the Trade Policy and Negotiations branch of Global Affairs Canada);
 
Muhammad Mamdani
 (director of the Temerty Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education in Medicine at University of Toronto); 
Karen Restoule 
(director of Indigenous affairs at Macdonald-Laurier Institute);
 Raquel Garbers
 (former director general of strategic defence policy at the Department of National Defence); 
Heather Scoffield
 (senior vice-president of strategy at the Business Council of Canada); 
Tim Hudak
 (former leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario); and more. See full agenda here:

.
Registration for this conference is $600. This covers admission to all conference sessions, as well as breakfast, lunch, and a cocktail reception.
This conference is the culmination of the IRPP’s two-year research project on industrial policy. In advance of the conference, the IRPP — and the expert steering group guiding the research project — will publish a paper outlining recommendations for industrial policy, drawing from four workshops held in 2023 and 2024.

Joignez-vous à l’équipe de l’IRPP pour une conférence d’une journée à Ottawa, intitulée 
Canada’s Next Economic Transformation: Industrial Policy in Tumultuous Times
, le mardi 16 septembre 2025.
Le Canada est confronté à une série de défis urgents, notamment des perturbations du système de commerce mondial, une menace à notre souveraineté et notre sécurité, des technologies d’intelligence artificielle qui affectent nos façons de travailler et de vivre, les changements climatiques, l’accélération de la transition énergétique, des besoins criants en accès au logement et les impératifs de réconciliation économique avec les Autochtones. Tous ces défis rendront la prochaine décennie décisive pour notre avenir.
Les gouvernements n’ont pas les capacités fiscales de s’attaquer seuls à ces problèmes. Ils ont besoin de la collaboration du secteur privé afin de construire, manufacturer et innover dans l’objectif d’atteindre les résultats souhaités le plus rapidement possible.
La conférence 
Canada’s Next Economic Transformation: Industrial Policy in Tumultuous Times 
réunira des fonctionnaires, des universitaires, des chercheurs, des leaders du monde corporatif et d’autres influenceurs du milieu des politiques publiques de partout au pays pour discuter des meilleures approches qui s’offrent à nous.

Noah Smith
 livrera le discours d’ouverture. Le premier ministre des Territoires du Nord-Ouest, 
R. J. Simpson
, 
livrera le discours du déjeuner.
Les panels seront axés sur des enjeux clés liés à la politique industrielle. Parmi les intervenants qui participeront à notre conférence, citons 
Steve Verheul 
(ancien sous-ministre adjoint pour la Direction des politiques et négociations commerciales à Affaires mondiales Canada); 
Muhammad Mamdani
 
(directeur du Temerty Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education in Medicine, l’Université de Toronto);
 
Karen Restoule 
(directrice des affaires autochtones, Macdonald-Laurier Institute);
 Raquel Garbers 
(ancienne directrice générale de la politique de défense stratégique au ministère de la Défense nationale);

Cet événement est l’aboutissement d’un projet de recherche de l’IRPP de deux ans sur la politique industrielle.
