Event Details
Why Alberta?
Alberta is one of North America's most dynamic business environments combining one of the most competitive tax regimes in North America, access to a highly skilled and globally experienced workforce and a strategic gateway to Canadian, U.S., and global markets — and this mission puts you at the centre of it. Four structured days in Calgary will give delegates direct access to government decision makers, sector leaders, and a network of Alberta businesses actively seeking Irish partners.
Ireland and Alberta are a natural fit. Both economies are built on energy, professional services, and technology. CETA — which Ireland is ratifying this summer — removes the final trade barriers between the two markets. The timing has never been better.
