Toronto, Canada — a dynamic metropolis with a skyline of soaring skyscrapers — is recognized as one of the most cosmopolitan and multicultural cities in the world, with nearly half of its population being foreign-born and over 150 languages spoken.

As Canada’s largest city, and the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is a world leader in business, finance, technology, entertainment and culture. Canada has the 9th largest GDP in the world, and the 10th largest Foreign Direct Investment outflows in the world.

Toronto is home to a diverse range of businesses across various industries. The Financial District is the centre of Canada's financial industry containing the Toronto Stock Exchange, which is the largest in Canada and tenth largest in the world.

Toronto also hosts the Canadian headquarters of many companies including the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), the Bank of Montreal (BMO), Scotiabank, Johnson & Johnson, Apotex, Brookfield Asset Management, Entertainment One, Deloitte and KPMG.

Toronto's business landscape is constantly evolving, with new startups emerging and established companies expanding their operations.

Bright, bustling and known for its diverse dining scene, museums and nightlife, Toronto is home to iconic landmarks such as the CN Tower, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and Toronto Islands. Whether you're interested in culture, entertainment, nature, or business, Toronto has something to offer everyone.

Located in such a dynamic and multicultural business metropolis, Toronto will be an outstanding host for the 2025 IBA Annual Conference.
