“In a rapidly changing world, Canada’s new government proposes the deepest possible partnership between Canada and the EU. This will require a new form of partnership – a unique alliance anchored in our common values that respects our complementary strengths and systems and enhances our sovereignty and prosperity. Canada will work with speed and ambition to make this possible to create greater certainty, security, and prosperity for our peoples for generations to come.”

The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada

"Canada has what the world wants and what the world needs."

That message was on full display this week as the first Canada Investment Summit generated nearly $500 billion in new investment commitments for Canada.

The Summit brought together leading investors from around the world, including Sweden, to explore opportunities in infrastructure, energy, critical minerals, advanced manufacturing, AI, and other strategic sectors that will drive growth for decades to come.

Canada's strengths are clear: a trusted and stable partner with a highly educated workforce, abundant energy and critical mineral resources, world-leading innovation ecosystems, and preferential access to 1.5 billion consumers through one of the world's most comprehensive networks of free trade agreements.

As Canada and Sweden work together to advance innovation, strengthen supply chains, and support the energy transition, we look forward to pursuing trade and investment opportunities and strengthening commercial partnerships.

To that end, the Prime Minister convened the first Canada Investment Summit. Hosted in partnership with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments)
