&Web conference
03:00 PM Toronto time (ET)
In today’s uncertain global landscape, market diversification becomes strategically vital for Canadian companies aiming to ensure their export growth. Since the provisional application of the CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) in 2017, Canadian exports to Europe have increased by more than 50%, highlighting the strength and potential of this transatlantic partnership.
The Honourable Erin O’Toole, former Canadian Minister, former leader of the Conservative party, and President of ADIT North America, will share his strategic insights with Canadian exporters.
Europe remains a key market, offering stability, innovation, and access to high-growth sectors. While traditional trade relationships have focused on Northern Europe (GBR, GER, NED), new opportunities are emerging across the continent, supported by industrial transformation and strategic EU funding initiatives.
Key topics
- Which sectors are the best opportunities for canadian companies?
- What role does Europe play as a gateway to the Middle East and Africa?
- How to navigate regulatory challenges and labor market complexities?
