With economic growth project to increase to 2.3% in 2018 (OECD, 2016), the Canadian economy is steadily expanding outside the oil and gas sector. The recently negotiated Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is a new trade agreement between the EU and Canada which will make it easier to export goods and services, benefitting people and businesses in both the EU and Canada. Next week’s Canada event will take place on the same day that Article 50 will be triggered and thus, CETA is an important counterpoint of Brexit.

This seminar will offer Irish companies the opportunity to learn more about opportunities for increased Ireland-Canada trade and to hear from companies on both sides about their experiences. Hear from:

• Ambassador Kevin Vickers, Canadian Embassy Dublin
• John Roxburgh, Senior Trade Commissioner, Canadian Embassy Dublin
• Tom O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer, Brookfield Renewable
• Deirdre Giblin, Vice Chair, Ireland Canada Business Association
