November 27 2017- December 1, 2017 The CCCA is working with Invest in Canada on an Investment Mission to Europe in November of 2017 as part of the “Global Business Leaders Series: Focus on Canada” organized by Invest in Canada. The series features investment missions to select countries throughout the world to highlight the advantages of investing in Canada and to showcase specific opportunities. With support from the Canadian Embassies in France, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Switzerland the event will feature seminars on investing in Canada, Business-to-Business (B2B) meetings between European companies and CCCA member cities, and networking opportunities. This mission will highlight the benefits to their global supply chains of European companies investing in Canada in light of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed between Canada and the European Union and Canada’s comprehensive set of trade and investment agreements around the world including the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

The Canadian Consulate in Rio de Janeiro working with the CCCA organized a Virtual Investment Seminar with gaming companies in the Rio de Janeiro region. The mission involved 16 companies from the Rio de Janeiro region and 6 CCCA member cities. It was executed using Skype. The Consulate gave an overview of the FDI opportunity and the gaming sector in Canada. Each city then had an opportunity to address the Brazilian companies, outlining their value proposition and answering questions. The Consulate had provided profiles of the pre-qualified Brazilian companies in advance, including their foreign investment goals and time frames. Follow up after the session was done by the Consulate and individual cities working together.
The initiative was considered a success by all parties with the intent to extend the model in the future to other sectors and cities. Following the success of the first investment mission to Brazil in February 2015, CCCA returns in March 2016 to attract investments from Brazil. As a part of the “Global Business Leaders Series” organized by Invest in Canada, this event brought together international business leaders, industry champions and CCCA member cities to highlight Canada's investment opportunities in a variety of sectors.
