The United States Commercial Service in Canada is bringing a U.S. business mission to Yellowknife, August 30 to 31, comprised of 10 to 15 U.S. companies specialized in developing solutions in the dual-use infrastructure, energy and power generation, mining exploration and remediation, and mental health and healthcare.
The two-day event will provide an opening networking program to facilitate new connections and strengthen existing ones between U.S. and Canadian Indigenous groups, government organizations and business groups.
The first day will focus on business briefings and panel sessions featuring representatives from the municipal government, GNWT, and Indigenous development corporations. Additionally, the program will provide an opportunity for the U.S. delegates to showcase their solutions and demonstrate how they can be applied in Northern Canada.
At the conclusion of the U.S. company presentations, there will be a focused B2B matchmaking event to follow up on leads generated during the day.
On the second day, the U.S. delegates will be invited to participate in offsite events to further explore and learn about Yellowknife and the greater Northwest Territories.
The Commercial Service (CS) Canada has been focused on Arctic programming for several years to showcase the emerging opportunities in Canada's north to interested U.S. exporters.
