OpenAI's Head of Geopolitical and Economic Affairs, George Osborne, stated on September 15 during the Canadian Investment Summit that Canada is a "very important market" for OpenAI, with tangible opportunities for data center collaboration thanks to its abundant energy and land resources. He also described the Canadian government's AI strategy as "one of the clearest articulated plans for AI adoption among Western governments." The summit, hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, aimed to attract global investors, during which the Canadian government announced expanded tax incentives.
