Amid rising geopolitical uncertainty, Canadian tech leaders need to adapt and be proactive. Nexus Partner Arthur Lam has been on the road speaking directly to founders and investors about the global political shifts shaping business strategy in the sector.

Over the past few weeks, Arthur has joined panels hosted by Ontario innovation hubs, including:

• MaRS Discovery District: At the Cleantech VC Syndicate roundtable, Arthur broke down what US shifts on climate policy and a new prime minister mean for Canadian climate-tech.

• ventureLAB: At the HardTech Investor Network Roundtable, he discussed how companies and investors should think about current geopolitical instability.

• DMZ: In a Tariffs 101 Q&A, Arthur answered questions about Trump’s tariffs and how tech firms should prepare.

A recurring theme across all events: companies that anticipate political change and engage early will be better positioned to navigate risk and seize new opportunities.

At Nexus, we help innovative companies engage with government and stay ahead of policy shifts.
