Canada-ASEAN Business Forum 2026

Anchored in the Philippines’ Chairmanship theme, “Navigating Our Future, Together,” the Canada-ASEAN Business Council (CABC) will convene the Canada-ASEAN Business Forum 2026 in Manila, the Philippines. Held on the sidelines of the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (ABIS), the Forum will bring together senior government leaders, business executives, and institutional partners to advance the next phase of Canada-ASEAN economic cooperation.

As ASEAN approaches a pivotal moment in its economic trajectory, on track to become the world’s fourth-largest economy by 2030, the Forum will serve as a strategic platform to align policy priorities with private-sector capabilities. It aims to strengthen the bridge between government and industry, supporting the translation of trade and investment frameworks into tangible commercial partnerships, more resilient supply chains, and sustainable, inclusive growth.

At the Canada-ASEAN Business Forum 2026, leaders from business and government will explore opportunities across:

• Agri-food and food security

• Energy transition

• Infrastructure and connectivity

• Investment

• Capacity building 

• MSMEs growth

Hear from distinguished government representatives and business leaders as they engage in meaningful dialogue on market developments, sector priorities, and opportunities to deepen commercial engagement between Canada and ASEAN.
