As governments place greater emphasis on economic resilience and strategic autonomy, Canada is pursuing a more active industrial policy while strengthening partnerships with trusted allies and fellow middle powers, including the UK. At this event, Mélanie Joly discusses the opportunities and challenges of this approach, examining how governments can advance industrial ambitions while navigating trade commitments, supply chain pressures, and a competitive global economy.
This event discusses:
- What are Canada’s priorities for industrial policy and economic resilience?
- What obstacles could limit Canada’s industrial ambitions?
- Which middle-power partnerships are most important to Canada’s strategy?
- How does the Canada–UK relationship support economic and industrial cooperation?
- What does the future of industrial policy look like for middle powers?
This event will be held under the Chatham House Rule.
