“Canada’s universities are at the forefront of research, talent development, and global collaboration,” said Gabriel Miller, President and CEO of Universities Canada. “As trade tensions with the U.S. create uncertainty, Canada must expand its partnerships across Asia. CIAC2025 highlighted the strength of our universities in forging these connections—creating new opportunities for research, business, and education that benefit both our country and the world.” Canada-in-Asia Conference 2025 was presented with the assistance of the Government of Canada.
