The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada) and Universities Canada are excited to invite members of the media to the inaugural Canada-in-Asia Conference 2023 in Singapore on February 21-23, 2023. A signature event for Canada-connected individuals, businesses, and institutions across Asia, the Canada-in-Asia Conference (CIAC2023) will gather Asia-based alumni of Canadian universities and key leaders from business and government in Canada and Asia to catalyze a new and transformative phase of Canada-Asia engagement.

Over two days at the Fairmont Singapore's Raffles City Convention Centre, the conference program combines keynote and inter disciplinary plenary sessions, concurrent thematic activities based on priority sectors, strategic networking opportunities, and an evening gala - alongside activities organized by participating universities and organizations with their respective communities. "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 Jeff Nankivell, President and CEO, Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada. "Singapore sits at the center of dynamic Asia, and we look forward to constructive, high-level discussions between senior representatives of the governments and universities of Canada, Singapore, and the wider region."

"Canada's universities are global leaders in developing the talent and leading research that demonstrate Canada's unique capabilities and contributions," said Paul Davidson, President, and Universities Canada. "Our alumni in Asia act as ambassadors for that work, and for Canada. Engaging these individuals and building strong people-to-people connections across borders and barriers will deepen Canada-Asia relations in business, governments, academia, and civil society."
