Canadian manufacturers are facing increasing pressure to compete amid tariffs, global unrest, and emerging technologies. Making sense of a turbulent 2026 can be a challenge, but can also present opportunities for savvy decision-makers!

Discussing the economic outlook of the industry and its key challenges and opportunities is BMO’s Chief Economist, Douglas Porter, and the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters’ Chief Economist Alan Arcand. For $20, you can join them on Apr. 16 at 11AM ET to hear how the industry is changing, and what you can do to stay ahead in 2026.

Together they will form an expert panel that will explore opportunities for manufacturers in new territories and export markets, possible pivots, barriers to capital investments being seen by SMEs, and what to expect from a regulatory perspective in 2026.
