The DIGITAL Experience

How Digital Is delivering

Strategic Alignment with Canada’s AI Vision

AI Vision Canada

DIGITAL is actively delivering on the commercialization pillar of the Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy (PCAIS). With $40M in PCAIS funding, we are building a commercially focused AI ecosystem that mobilizes Canadian innovation into global markets and drives economic growth. Our portfolio demonstrates that successful AI adoption depends on more than technology alone, it requires market access, integration into operations, and access to high-quality data and compute.

By connecting AI innovators with industry partners, validating solutions, and enabling scale through co-investment and ecosystem support, DIGITAL is helping Canadian AI move from research to deployment—strengthening Canada’s global position in applied AI.

What We Do

  • Connect AI builders with buyers
  • Open doors to capital, talent and global markets
  • Build pathways into the digital economy
  • Speed up adoption and commercialization while retaining Canadian IP and economic autonomy

Why It Matters

Canada’s AI leadership is built on world-class research and its transformation into meaningful products and services. That’s where DIGITAL leads — turning innovation into impact.

Looking Ahead

Canada is ready to shape the future of AI, but true leadership requires bold scale and unified action. DIGITAL is proud to continue working alongside its Members and partners to facilitate collaboration, accelerate Canadian innovation, and bring homegrown technology to the world stage.
