MaRS Mornings: Tackling tariffs head-on 

With the U.S. tariff threat on Canadian goods now on pause, business leaders have a bit more time to prepare. If they go ahead, the prognosis isn’t pretty: Canada exports some $1.9-billion worth of daily goods and services to the United States, representing more than 20 percent of this country’s gross domestic product. The economic fallout from a trade war could be considerable, affecting growth, employment rates, investment, and inflation. While certain sectors, such as automotive, construction, manufacturing, critical minerals, and agriculture, could be particularly hard hit, companies that sell into those supply chains would also be affected and the ripple effects would be felt throughout the economy.

Across the tech sector, there are calls to view this unfolding crisis as a rare opportunity — as a chance to forge creative solutions that could help businesses find new trading partners, fix long-standing hurdles, and help with procurement. In other words, it’s time to plan rather than panic.

Attend MaRS Mornings on February 19 to hear perspectives on the looming trade dispute as well as how startups can strategize and forge creative solutions.

Join Anne Gaviola in conversation with Kim Furlong; Shannon Lee Simmons, CFP, and Elena Balkos.
