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

  • Cam Crowder (Redstick Ventures) – Investor perspectives on venture financing for deeptech food systems.
