“Canada and the U.S. have the largest trade relationship between two countries in the history of the world. Every day, we hear from U.S. firms looking for help in entering the Western Canadian market,” says Cindy Biggs, U.S. Commercial Attaché for Western Canada.
The U.S firms participated in a business briefing featuring remarks by U.S. Consul General Peter Kujawinski, presentations on doing business in Canada including trade, finance and taxation, business, law, identifying partners and emerging opportunities as well as a networking rodeo where companies were able to unwind and experience firsthand, a traditional western rodeo.
The U.S. Foreign Commercial service assists American companies seeking to increase trade with Canadian businesses and customers as well as identify joint venture partners, agents and distributors. For more information, click here.
