Canada’s flagship AI conference highlighted new investments, international partnerships and the country’s leadership in AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming economies and creating new opportunities across industries. ALL IN 2026, an initiative of Scale AI, is Canada’s flagship AI conference. The two-day event showcased the strength of Canada’s AI ecosystem and brought together innovators, investors, researchers and international partners to help shape the future of AI.

At ALL IN 2026, the Honourable Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, undertook a series of high-profile engagements, including keynote addresses at the conference’s opening and closing sessions, panel discussions, and stakeholder meetings, highlighting Canada’s leadership in AI and strengthening collaboration with domestic and international partners. Highlights included the following:

  • Minister Solomon joined Mila, Mozilla and Hypertec as they announced plans to establish a Canadian-led open-source AI consortium. The initiative aims to make advanced AI tools easier and more affordable for small and medium-sized businesses and other organizations to adopt, while giving users greater choice and control over their technology and data.
  • He announced, alongside Dr. Karsten Wildberger, Germany’s Federal Minister for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation, and Yoshua Bengio, Founder and Scientific Director of LawZero, that the Government of Canada and the Federal Government of Germany are planning to invest CAD 150 million and EUR 100 million, respectively, in LawZero to develop a fundamentally new form of advanced AI, designed to be trustworthy, transparent and safe by design.
