In Person

Where should Canada’s growing businesses focus over the next decade? According to Dan Herman, former head of Canada’s innovation policy and advisor to governments across Asia and Africa, the biggest opportunities lie outside traditional North American markets.

If you're only looking at North America, you're already behind.

The next decade of growth isn’t in saturated, tariff-troubled markets—it’s in the untapped, high-velocity economies that global investors are quietly doubling down on.

But here’s the truth: the rules are different out there. And that’s why we built this session.

In this high-impact masterclass, Dan draws on a decade of global experience—shaped by advising governments, launching two startups, and conducting on-the-ground research across 20+ economies—to deliver a roadmap for small and medium-sized businesses ready to scale smart.

Whether you’re facing tariff uncertainty, plateauing local growth, or rising competition, this session will equip you with the tools and insight to expand with confidence—without overextending your resources.
