It’s that time of year again!

Canadian manufacturers are invited to take part in the 2027 Advanced Manufacturing Outlook Survey, updated to reflect today’s manufacturing realities.

This year’s survey has been refined to better capture what’s shaping decision‑making right now — from operational priorities and technology investment to automation, cybersecurity, tariffs, and rising costs. We’ve also streamlined the questionnaire so it takes 10 minutes or less to complete.

Your responses will inform the 2027 Advanced Manufacturing Outlook Report, a trusted snapshot of how Canadian manufacturers are navigating change and where risk, investment, and opportunity are converging.

By taking part, you help:

• Guide Plant’s editorial coverage and reporting priorities
• Establish relevant industry benchmarks
• Surface the real challenges facing operations and leadership teams

And to support participation across Canada, this year’s survey is available in both English and French.

If you’re involved in manufacturing operations, technology, strategy, or capital planning, your perspective is essential.

Thank you for helping shape a clearer picture of advanced manufacturing in Canada.
