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.

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.
