The decisive role of public action in shaping capital allocation: Sustainable Finance Summit

As Canada seeks to strengthen its economic sovereignty in a context of geopolitical fragmentation and transition pressures, a central challenge emerges: how to translate strategic priorities into credible, investable opportunities. Bringing together leaders from standard-setting and public investment, this session explores how robust frameworks, risk-sharing mechanisms, and targeted capital deployment can align markets with national resilience and industrial competitiveness. What makes sovereignty-driven priorities credible and investable from a capital markets perspective? How can standards, disclosure, and public investment tools work together to crowd in private capital at scale? What role should institutions play in accelerating deployment while balancing risk, competitiveness, and long-term resilience?

This event is part of the Sustainable Finance Summit held in Montreal from June 2 – 5th.
