The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and Universities Canada are pleased to announce the Canada-in-Asia Conference, an innovative, world-class event to catalyze a new and transformative phase of Canada-Asia engagement.  

The inaugural Canada-in-Asia Conference, which will be held in Singapore from February 21-23 2023, will engage over 30 Canadian universities and over 500 participants – Asia-based alumni of Canadian universities and key leaders from Canada and Asia in business and government – in a program combining keynote and inter-disciplinary plenary sessions, concurrent thematic activities based on priority sectors for Canada, strategic networking opportunities, and an evening gala event. The conference also offers participating universities or partner organizations opportunities to convene additional activities with their respective communities. 

Canada’s universities are global leaders in developing the knowledge, skills, and leading research that demonstrate Canada’s unique capabilities and contributions. Alumni in the region act as ambassadors for Canada, and are a valuable resource for deepening Canada-Asia relations across business, geopolitics, academia, and civil society. The Canada-in-Asia Conference will unite these alumni with other champions of trans-Pacific engagement to create the most extensive people-to-people and institutional linkages across Canada and Asia to date, while offering alumni a unique opportunity to grow their own professional networks. 

“Our two organizations are building a platform for Canada’s strategic re-engagement with the Indo-Pacific, while showcasing the value of some of Canada’s most important assets – our universities and alumni of those universities. This event is a unique opportunity for us to build and strengthen individual and institutional linkages across Canada and Asia, and work together to find solutions to pressing challenges facing our world,” said APF Canada President and CEO Jeff Nankivell. “We know that the multi-sectoral partnerships this Conference will enable, extended across borders and barriers, will allow us to accomplish more – in education, in business, in research, and with government.” 

Alumni of Canadian universities who are based across Asia are encouraged to save the date, and more information will be shared shortly. Invitations will be extended via university alumni networks, so please make sure your details are up to date with your university’s alumni program.
