Join the conversations shaping Nova Scotia’s role in Canada’s economic future
Our Economic Engine event is now in its fourth year of organizing influential voices to explore where our economy is headed. Unlike many of our programs, which are typically delivered as 90-minute luncheons, our Economic Engine is a half-day seminar designed to go deeper into specific issues, solutions, and real-world strategies you can take back to your team. Through a series of keynote conversations, panel discussions, and interactive presentations, our event dives deep into major economic trends from multiple perspectives, giving attendees a more practical understanding of the opportunities and challenges shaping our economic future.
Industry Leaders
Hear directly from senior business leaders who are making investment decisions, creating jobs, and driving innovation across key sectors of our economy. Their insights bring the conversation to life with real-world experience and years of know-how.
Key Political Officials
Engage with elected leaders and senior decision-makers as they share priorities, policy directions, and how governments are supporting growth, boosting competitiveness, and shaping the future of our region.
Subject Matter Experts
Gain access to leading economists, policy specialists, and innovators who bring data, research, and fresh thinking to complex economic challenges helping translate big ideas into actionable insights.
Networking
The Economic Engine brings together a diverse group of business leaders, policymakers, and forward-thinkers, creating meaningful opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, and build relationships throughout the day.
Food, Coffee, and Snacks
Most important of all is that there are food, snacks, and coffee stations to ensure your brain is properly fuelled to ingest and digest all the information.
This year’s theme, Nation Building: Charting Nova Scotia’s Role in Canada’s Economy, comes at an exciting time as the new federal government lays out its plans for Canada’s economic future. For Nova Scotia, it’s a chance to attract investments, grow our economy, create new jobs, and show how our province can compete and lead on a national stage. At the Economic Engine, you’ll hear directly about these priorities, explore where Nova Scotia fits in the bigger picture, and leave with practical ideas on how to better position your business to stay ahead of the curve in Nova Scotia’s changing economy.
