Webinar: Exporting to Canada

March 31, 2021 at 10:00 am - 11:00 am

 

 

 

The Georgia Department of Economic Development invites you to attend their webinar on “Opportunities for Georgia Exporters in Canada.”

Canada is Georgia’s #1 customer and sells more to Georgia than it sells to Mexico: be part of that strong bilateral relationship and take advantage of the new market trends and export opportunities in Canada.

GDEcD’s Trade Representatives in Canada will provide Georgia exporters with an update on what they can achieve in Canada and will review the latest market trends, opportunities and disruption brought by new business environments created by the pandemic. A key component of a successful endeavor in Canada is understanding the right business model for the Canadian market, as such this webinar will review useful key elements such as Non-Resident Importer, Franchising and Intellectual Property issues.
