In today’s rapidly evolving economic context—marked by shifting supply chains, geopolitical challenges, and the redefinition of trade alliances—Canadian and European businesses are called to rethink their strategic positioning. Now more than ever, the ties between Canada and Europe, grounded in a shared vision of resilience, innovation, and sustainable development, represent a tangible opportunity for growth, competitiveness, and collaboration for both regions.
This conference will provide an in-depth perspective on transatlantic collaboration opportunities, competitive advantages, and strategic positioning in both European and Canadian markets. The presentations and discussions promise to be particularly enriching for all participants, whether based in Canada or Europe.
Keynote speaker Hubert Bolduc, President of Investissement Québec International, will offer a strategic outlook on Québec’s positioning within an international context and its opportunities for collaboration with European markets.
The program will also feature a fireside chat with Philippe Hudon, President and Founder of Akonovia, and Jean-Simon Venne, President and Co-Founder of BrainBox AI. They will share their experiences and perspectives on international expansion, with a particular focus on strategies for diversifying and growing in the European market.
The event will bring together decision-makers, business leaders, investors, and institutional partners from the complementary networks of both Chambers. Together, our members form a strong and engaged business ecosystem, deeply rooted in economic relations between Canada and Europe. The quality and diversity of the audience will provide a unique platform to share ideas, foster partnerships, and engage with influential stakeholders on both sides of the Atlantic.
We invite you to join us for this privileged occasion of insight, dialogue, and networking.
A prize draw will also take place during the event, offering the chance to win two round-trip tickets between Canada and Italy, graciously offered by Air Canada.
