Trade Talks: Canada

Trade talks explore the opportunities and advantages of doing business in one of the world’s most stable and innovative economies. With strong trade relations between Canada and Europe, and increasing demand for sustainable solutions and advanced technologies, Canada continues to be an attractive market for Swedish companies looking to expand internationally.

This webinar will provide valuable insights into the Canadian business landscape and highlight how the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) supports international trade by reducing tariffs, improving market access, and creating new opportunities across sectors such as green technology, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and sustainable business.

Participants will hear from market experts and business representatives with firsthand experience in Canada, offering practical perspectives on market entry, trade opportunities, and international collaboration.

Hosted by Mittsvenska Handelskammaren, the webinar is part of Trade Talks by Swedish Chambers — a joint initiative by Sweden’s regional Chambers of Commerce in collaboration with Swedish Foreign Chambers of Commerce and international market experts.
