The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada announced that it will lead Smarter Living: The Canadian Women-only Business Mission to South Korea and Thailand from November 26 to December 1, 2023, in Bangkok with the support of public and private sectors of the countries.
South Korea and Thailand present an ideal market in the sectors of cleantech, health care, and information and computer technology (ICT) for Canadian businesses. Both countries have strategically prioritised these industries economically and offer attractive incentives to foster growth and collaboration. Canadian companies can establish a strong foothold and enter into the potential for long-term success and mutually beneficial partnerships.
The Canadian Women-only Business Mission to South Korea and Thailand is a part of the Foundation’s 2023-2025 mission series, Northeast X Southeast: Advancing Partnerships Between Canada and Asia. It marks the seventh mission of APF Canada’s Women’s Business Missions to Asia Series.
The mission is focused on the cleantech, health tech, and ICT sectors with highlighting the innovations of Canadian women entrepreneurs in these sectors. It will provide a new opportunity to strengthen economic relationships between Canadian women entrepreneurs and businesses in South Korea and Thailand. Meanwhile, fostering gender-inclusive trade, supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and catalyzing international partnerships between Canadian companies and these two strong and dynamic Asian economies.
The Canadian Women-only Business Mission to South Korea and Thailand features public conferences with high-level speakers from government, business, and academia from Canada, South Korea, and Thailand, to have a word on bilateral and regional trade issues, gender inclusion in the economy with the goal of women’s economic advancement, and SME support. This mission’s 21 delegates will participate in personalised business-to-business (B2B) matchmaking, company pitches, and networking opportunities with conference attendees.
This Mission is generously supported by contributions from the Government of Canada through Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
