Canada – UAE Trade Mission 2022

Special delegation by business, for business.

We are primarily focused on immigrant founder-led early stage companies and small and medium Canadian enterprises interested in exploring markets in the Gulf Cooperation Council region.

Welcome | Bonjour | اهلا وسهلا

Expanding and diversifying Canada’s trade and investment relations contributes directly to the economy and benefits hard-working Canadians. With a stable economy, a modern political system, a comparatively young population with disposable income, and having one of the region’s most liberal trade and investment regimes, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) represents a great market entry opportunity for Canadian exporters, investors, and enterprises looking to expand their global access to the region.

The Canada – UAE Trade Mission 2022, is a special delegation led by business for business. With a primary focus on immigrant founder-led early stage companies as well as small and medium enterprises, the mission will create opportunities for delegates interested in exploring market access in key sectors such as Education, Information and Communications Technologies, Energy and Clean Technologies, Healthcare and Life Sciences, and Logistics.
