World Trade Centre urge businesses to explore opportunities in Canada

The World Trade Centre (WTC) Accra has encouraged Ghanaian industrialists to explore trade and investment opportunities in Canada to deepen economic corporation between the two countries. 

 

Speaking at a pre-departure briefing in Accra for Ghanaian companies embarking on a trade and investment mission to Winnipeg, Canada, Mr. Emmanuel Doni-Kwame - Managing Director, WTC Accra - said the mission is aimed at introducing Ghanaian industrialists to global firms and prospective partners in the areas of construction, extractives and infrastructure, finance and investment.

The three-day business-to-business forum scheduled for May 25th - 27th 2016 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is expected to enable the officials to participate in the fourth edition of Centralia.

Centralia is designed for businesses seeking new opportunities, and the three-day event will help the companies to make connections and thereafter increase business, form new partnerships and explore global markets, as well as learn from international trade experts and world-class keynote speakers.

Participating companies include the National Investment Bank, Strategic Energies, SAS Finance Group, and Ideal Finance group.

He urged the businesses to use the global network to enhance their businesses and win new partners.

Mr. Doni-Kwame said the engagement is expected to strengthen collaboration between the two countries and foster business opportunities for trade and investment.

He urged the companies to make strong presentations of their various companies during the visit to attract investors into the country.

Mr. Peter Fiamor, Trade Commissioner-High Commission of Canada, said the trade relationship between Canada and Ghana needs to mature, and urged Ghanaian officials to use the opportunity to identify partners for the growth of their businesses.  

The Ghanaian officials will participate in breakout business sessions, hear from experts and hold one-on-one meetings to introduce Ghana and prospective businesses to the more than 700 business leaders from Canada, and others from 30 different countries.

The Centre has organised successful trade missions to Brazil, the United States of America, Italy and China, among others, to enable Ghanaian companies exhibit their products for business opportunities and investments.
