The second edition

The 2026 Canada–Africa Business Summit built on the relationships and conversations started at the inaugural gathering. The second edition brought Canadian and African stakeholders together in Ontario to explore business connections, investment, innovation and opportunities for cooperation.

Its focus included connecting organizations across regions, supporting trade and market-entry discussions, and bringing investors, entrepreneurs, institutions and public-sector leaders into the same conversation. The 2027 edition continues that work with a focus on resilient health systems.
