As Indigenous businesses, development corporations and business organizations pursue growth and build infrastructure, China’s growing market poses unique opportunities. China is the world’s largest and most dynamic consumer market, with a strong appreciation of high-quality Canadian consumer products. As the world’s second-largest economy, China’s strong demand for commodities and natural resources presents important export opportunities for Canadian and Indigenous organizations.

This October, CCBC will lead a group of First Nations, Inuit and Métis (hereinafter referred to as “Indigenous”) entrepreneurs, economic development executives, and Indigenous leaders on a trade mission to Beijing, China, to build connections and partnerships that help delegates develop export markets and sources of investment to facilitate exports.

Doing business with China successfully requires diligent cultivation of relationships that can be difficult from afar. Finally, after years of COVID restrictions, Canada-China travel has resumed, and it is an important moment to ramp up China-market business development. The Mission will offer a series of activities, curated meetings, and business interactions to help delegates enhance their knowledge of business in China, broaden their in-market networks, and achieve their business goals. The five-day mission program will encompass CCBC’s AGM as well as unique delegation-specific visits, meetings, and activities in Beijing.
