Trailer: The Growth Lens - Conversations on Economic Growth
The Growth Lens by Scotia Growth InstituteShow Notes
Canada is at a pivotal moment in a time of rapid economic and geopolitical change, and the country’s next chapter will be determined by the path taken today.
The Scotia Growth Institute is dedicated to advancing conversations about the ideas, policies, investments, and innovations that drive long-term economic growth.
The Growth Lens, a new podcast by the Scotia Growth Institute, explores the forces shaping economic growth in Canada and North America. Through conversations with business leaders, policymakers, economists, researchers, and innovators, the podcast examines the ideas and decisions that influence prosperity, competitiveness, and long-term economic performance.
Each episode takes an in-depth look at topics ranging from productivity and investment to trade, infrastructure, technology, housing and energy. Rather than focusing on short-term news cycles, the podcast examines what drives sustainable growth and what it will take to build a stronger, more competitive economy for Canadians.
The goal of The Growth Lens by the Scotia Growth Institute is to foster thoughtful conversation, challenge assumptions, and highlight practical solutions that can support economic growth and opportunity.
At a time when countries around the world are competing for talent, capital, and innovation, understanding the drivers of growth in Canada has never been more important.
This podcast provides a forum for those conversations, helping listeners better understand the opportunities, challenges, and choices that will shape Canada's economic future.
