In August 2023, FinDev Canada held a public art exhibit to bring visibility to the opportunities and potential that emerging markets and developing economies bring and challenge traditional perceptions of these markets.

To achieve this, we partnered with talented local photographers whose work offers an authentic depiction of our markets and clients.
