On October 20-21, U.S. Consulate General Toronto facilitated a number of meetings, including a roundtable discussion with the Mayor of Hamilton, a nearby business hub, on ideas for collaboration and trade promotion with Tampa Bay-St. Petersburg. The Tampa Bay Export Alliance organizers were joined by Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman, and business leaders for a three-day event to promote business development, specifically for film, energy, automotive, and aerospace industries. Canada is Tampa’s largest export market and is third in terms of foreign direct investment.
