CFIN x Fasken Toronto Present: The Automation Tipping Point
About this Event
About This Event
Canada’s food and beverage sector is approaching a major inflection point. While global food automation is accelerating at 13–15% annually, domestic manufacturers, processors, and foodservice operators face a critical question: Will Canada emerge as a leading producer of agri-food automation technologies, or remain a buyer of foreign platforms?
Join us in Toronto for an exclusive, interactive panel discussion exploring how local robotics acquisitions, micro-factory deployments, and growth-stage capital are driving the next wave of scaling in foodtech.
Key Topics We'll Cover
- Aligning commercial milestones with CFIN’s Sightline industry investment data.
- Overcoming adoption hurdles for manufacturers, processors, and operators.
- Navigating the growth-stage funding landscape required to scale domestic robotics.
Featured Speakers
