Trade Missions & Events
Attention Calgary Aerospace, ICT and Building Products companies:
Calgary Economic Development's Sister City Program and the Phoenix Sister Cities Commission are proud to invite you to participate in the Calgary-Phoenix Sister Cities Trade Mission to Phoenix.
Dates: May 3 - May 5, 2006
Why Participate?
This trade mission covers three sectors of identifiable opportunity:
Aerospace
The Arizona aerospace sector is a $40 billion industry. Calgary aerospace companies participating in the mission will meet the major players in this market. As a member of the recently defined Caglary and region aerospace cluster you will be more attractive to business in the U.S. You will have the added strength of the Calgary cluster helping you mitigate your risk and open doors for new opportunities in the short and medium term.
Building Products
Arizona is the fastest growing housing market in the US with annual 80,000+ new housing starts. Also excellent growth for remodelling, renovation and condo conversion. Opportunities for exporters with niche, innovative and quality value-added wood products. Growing demand for green energy efficient products.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
Be part of the action - Canada already sells $46 million in telecommunications equipment to Arizona annually. Arizona offers an excellent gateway into Mexico. Military ICT crossover means there are potential opportunities in defense contracts. Your participation guarantees meetings with Phoenix and area businesses in your products and/or services.
During the trade mission, Calgary companies will be provided with valuable opportunities to meet qualified businesses in Phoenix. These businesses have identified a strong desire to pursue opportunities with Canadian companies. Your completed profile will enable on-the-ground experts in the Phoenix market to connect your company to appropriate and interested companies in Phoenix.
