Reflecting on 2024: Tangible Benefits for Canada’s Economy

Once again, members of our ecosystem have transformed Canadian businesses through AI projects that optimize processes and boost productivity. Thanks to sustained investments, small, medium, and large enterprises across Canada have benefited from AI solutions designed and tailored to meet their needs.  

As an industry pillar, Scale AI has propelled this growth by providing Canadian companies with strategic and financial support, enabling them to strengthen their competitive edge while solidifying Canada’s position as a global leader in AI.  

Together, we have generated significant value for our economy by powering innovative AI solutions and products that deliver tangible results for the Canadian industry. Reflecting the maturity of our ecosystem, leaders such as Mappedin, Airudi, and AlayaCare have developed AI solutions that are now commercialized both domestically and internationally.  

Together, we built ALL IN, Canada’s most important AI event, which brought together 4,000 participants from 40 countries in Montreal to discover the excellence of our ecosystem.

Together, we succeeded in creating a Canadian AI industry capable of delivering concrete impacts for our country’s productivity.

And this is only the beginning–the coming year will be one of acceleration, growth, and internationalization for Canada’s AI.  

Looking Ahead to 2025: Accelerating the Pace

While the results achieved so far are promising, it is now time to pick up the pace. Scale AI will focus its efforts on multiplying impactful AI projects that benefit our economy and supporting the growth of key companies within our ecosystem.

  • Challenges in construction, healthcare, and public services  
  • Environmental issues and the management of AI-related impacts  
  • Global regulatory challenges and Canada’s positioning  
  • AI security and governance issues  

In this context, Scale AI will stand by your side, acting as one unified voice to ensure the longevity of our ecosystem.  

In 2025, you can count on Scale AI to:

  • Guide you through the economic and geopolitical landscape
