The world is getting increasingly global. We have to think Canada, think USA and think Asia (in particular Hong Kong, the centre of Asia) – and connect them all together – and build the momentum.
Would you be interested to meet and network with major government trade officials and business contacts from the U.S. State of Maine, share their insights on the Asia-Canada-US trade corridor, find out what the business opportunities that they are offering to Canadian companies in such sectors as clean tech, biotech and medical products, natural resources products as well as transportation and infrastructure?
