ONLINE: Ireland-Canada market entry webinar hosted by Killarney IC

Webinar

Description

Killarney Innovation Centre will host an international business webinar next month aimed at Irish companies considering expansion into the Canadian market. The online session, titled Europe to Canada: The first steps to your North American expansion, will take place on 12 February at 2.30pm (Irish time).

The webinar is being delivered in partnership with the Toronto Business Development Centre (TBDC), one of Canada’s longest-established business incubators. Founded by the City of Toronto, TBDC has supported business start-up, growth and scaling across multiple sectors since 1990.

The session will provide Irish businesses with a practical overview of the Canadian business environment, including market entry strategies, regulatory considerations and common challenges faced when entering North America. Representatives from TBDC will outline the current Canadian business ecosystem and the supports available to international companies establishing operations in Canada.

The event follows a recent webinar hosted for Canadian SMEs exploring opportunities in Ireland and Europe and forms part of a wider programme of reciprocal knowledge-sharing between the two regions.

The webinar is open to businesses across the Connected Hubs network and is expected to be of interest to SMEs exploring international growth opportunities. Further information and registration details are available online.
