Seminar Presentation In partnership with the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Belgium

The goal of this seminar is to inform Canadian companies on how to develop and grow their business in the post CETA (Comprehensive & Economic Trade Agreement) environment. The seminar will be conducted by specialized trainers from the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Brussels (CCBI) who have developed over the years expertise in organizing educational courses for business professionals and executives in the field of internationalization of SMEs with particular focus on government procurement opportunities and European project drafting and management. This is a must-attend event for businesses interested in entering the European market, an economic entity of over 550 million consumers and representing over 20% of the global GDP output. As Canada and the European Union approach the end of negotiations for CETA, Canadian companies need to position themselves to take advantage of the potential offered by this ground-breaking agreement.This seminar is just one of many events being planned across Canada as part of an EU-funded project entitled: The Enhanced EU Canada Economic Partnership: Challenges & Opportunities For SMEs.
