The First Nations Investment Forum returns for its second year as the premier national platform connecting First Nations, institutional investors, governments, developers, and industry leaders to advance Indigenous economic participation, long-term investment relationships, and Nation-building partnerships across Canada.
Hosted in Toronto, the 2026 Forum will bring together senior decision-makers, First Nations leadership, capital partners, major project proponents, strategic advisors, and innovators from across the country for 1.5 days of high-level networking, strategic dialogue, market intelligence, and partnership development.
As one of Canada’s leading gatherings focused on First Nations investment, capital, and economic partnerships, the Forum creates a unique environment where relationships, market intelligence, and strategic opportunity converge — connecting Indigenous leaders, institutional investors, developers, advisors, and government decision-makers within Canada’s evolving investment landscape.
Position your organization at the forefront of major projects, infrastructure, capital deployment, and long-term partnership development by engaging with a highly curated and influential audience focused on ownership, investment readiness, and scalable economic participation.
From energy, real estate and infrastructure to mining, technology, finance, and economic development, the Forum is designed to strengthen relationships, align capital and strategic interests, and support the partnerships that will help shape the future of First Nations investment, ownership, and prosperity in Canada.
