The Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank) launched the Scotia Growth Institute to advance national economic growth and competitiveness.
The bank committed over $100 billion in financing, underwriting, and investment to support Canadian companies. This capital deployment will target key growth sectors over the next five years.
Ambassador Kirsten Hillman, an expert in international trade and economic affairs, will lead the institute’s advisory group as Lead Strategic Advisor.
Scotiabank also dedicated $50 million through its ScotiaRISE program to support skills and talent development.
