2019 Canada-China Business Development Roadshow was held in Wuhan on June 12 and in Nanjing on June 14. The Roadshow is designed to connect Canadian businesses with potential channel partners and investors in second- and third-tier cities, where China’s economic growth is being driven. These half-day seminars presented in partnership with the Canadian Embassy, regional Consulates General, trade offices, provincial representatives and Destination Canada. For Canadian exporters, travel and accommodation funding, up to 75%, were available through the Global Opportunities for Associations (GOA) for qualified companies*.

Following the seminar, there were industry breakout sessions for matchmaking opportunities. Participating Canadian delegates presented information about their company and met with potential Chinese partners identified according to their industry.

Each session focused on three areas:
1.) Canadian investment promotions;
2.) Trading opportunities through B2B matchmaking;
3.) A tourism-focused reception.

*Travel and accommodation funding was available through the Global Opportunities for Associations (GOA) for qualified companies.
