Calgary Central Library, Patricia A. Whelan Performance Hall | 800 3 St SE
Talent, business leaders, producers and investors will gather at Uplook LIVE on March 6 to explore the current state and future of agribusiness in the Calgary region.
With economic uncertainty and potential tariffs reshaping global trade and supply chains, Calgary’s agribusiness sector is navigating a shifting landscape. This presents new challenges and opportunities for Calgary to emerge as a hub for sustainable solutions in food production, material production and health products.
Centered around the city’s economic action plan, Uplook, the event will feature two keynote presentations on the impact of tariffs and emerging global trends in agribusiness, followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders.
