CIAC2026, taking place at the Raffles City Convention Centre, will focus on three shared priorities – food security, energy security, and infrastructure – and explore the cross-cutting themes of geopolitics, investment, and technology, where global challenges and emerging opportunities will be viewed through a collaborative Canada–Asia lens.

“We are excited to return to Singapore next week to host this one-of-a-kind event for Canadian businesses, governments, and institutions and their peers from across the Indo-Pacific,” said Jeff Nankivell, President and CEO, Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada. “With the extraordinary turbulence and uncertainty in today’s global economy, we find ourselves in a moment defined by a shared imperative to find new partners and build new relationships that will strengthen our resilience and autonomy.
