Presented by Cooperation Canada, the International Cooperation Futures forum is a landmark event for civil society, government, the private sector, philanthropy and academia keen to drive influence, innovation and impact in international cooperation.
Through innovative sessions, interactive workshops, and vibrant networking opportunities, participants collaboratively explored ways to address global challenges and create positive change. Our objectives for the 2024 edition focused on connection, dialogue and collaboration.
