The Canada Investment Summit (French: Sommet canadien de l’investissement) was a meeting hosted by the Government of Canada focused on attracting foreign investment into the country. Numerous investors, business executives and leaders were invited. In a pitchbook from the government, 167 projects were listed as possible investments. Around 100 investors were expected to attend, managing a total of $120 trillion.
On April 17, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that the summit would occur in Toronto from September 14–15, 2026. It was organized by the Office of the Prime Minister, CPP Investments and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board.
