    Platform · Founded 2025

    Future Summit

    An independent executive platform connecting Canadian industry, governments, institutions and global capital.

    Problem
    Technology leaders, established industry, capital and government in Canada each operate inside their own networks, and the routes between them are informal and easy to lose.
    What Josh did
    Founded Future Summit in 2025 as an independent executive platform: a flagship gathering, curated dinners, roundtables, delegations and a year-round programme connecting Canadian industry, government, institutions and global capital.
    Result
    A working platform for the convening and relationship work described across this site. Coverage of the launch and the flagship event is linked on the Future Summit page.

    Formats

    Flagship summit

    The flagship gathering that brings AI, energy, infrastructure, investment and public leadership into one programme.

    Private dinners and roundtables

    Small, deliberately composed tables with a specific strategic or commercial reason for each person to be there.

    Delegations and trade missions

    International relationships structured for follow-through, so expansion brings buyers, capital and partners back into the home market.

    Year-round platform

    The relationships formed in the room continue through the platform rather than ending when the event does.

    Coverage

    Public coverage of the launch and the flagship event. Each link states how the coverage came about.

    Where the platform meets the work

    Future Summit is where much of my market access and convening work happens. If you are a principal, operator, investor or public leader working across energy, technology and infrastructure, the current programme is on the Future Summit site. If you want help with a specific problem, start here.
