APF Canada is co-hosting this high-level strategic dialogue with the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei (CTOT), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of China (MOFA), National Taiwan University (NTU), and the University of Ottawa.
The Track 1.5 Dialogue, on March 18, 2026, will bring together a curated group of policymakers, industry leaders, and experts for a candid, forward-looking discussion on strengthening economic security co-operation between Canada and Taiwan.
This Strategic Dialogue will focus on four core themes: Supply chain resilience, including semiconductors and trusted digital infrastructure; critical minerals–to–manufacturing linkages, and opportunities for joint value-chain development; defence industrial co-operation, particularly in emerging and dual-use technologies; and collective responses to economic coercion and support mechanisms for industry.
The objective of this dialogue is to identify near-term, actionable opportunities to deepen co-operation, align policy approaches, and mobilize industry, academic, and government partners toward shared economic security priorities.
