Diplomatic perspectives on the markets, forces, and partnerships shaping international business
In a period of increasing economic uncertainty, geopolitical change, and trade diversification, Canadian businesses are looking beyond traditional markets to identify new pathways for growth, investment, and partnership.
Against this backdrop, Gowling WLG’s Global Ambassador Forum brings together senior diplomatic leaders from some of Canada's most strategically important international partners for one-on-one conversations to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and trends shaping today's global economy—with topics ranging from artificial intelligence and energy security to supply chain resilience and international collaboration.
Hosted by Steve McKersie, CEO of Gowling WLG (Canada LLP), and Todd Burke, Member of Gowling WLG’s International Board, these discussions draw on the strength our firm’s global platform and cross-border experience to help you stay informed, connected, and strategically positioned.
