Annual National Convention 2025
The Indo-Canadian Business Chamber (ICBC) has been at the forefront of advancing bilateral business and investment ties between India and Canada for over a decade. Our Annual National Convention (ANC) is the Chamber’s flagship platform for high-level dialogue, bringing together policymakers, business leaders, innovators, investors, and institutional partners from both countries.
The 2025 edition of ANC comes at a pivotal moment in the India–Canada relationship. After a period of diplomatic and trade negotiation slowdowns, there is renewed momentum to reset and re-engage. This year’s Convention will focus on translating cautious optimism into tangible outcomes across key sectors — from technology and innovation to aviation, infrastructure, and sustainable finance. The Convention will address policy priorities, emerging opportunities, and collaborative models that can drive sustainable, mutually beneficial growth in the next 24 months.
