U.S. Missions

In February of 2024, we launched a new Canada-U.S. Engagement Plan aimed at providing Canadian businesses opportunities to increase ties with U.S. counterparts and policymakers. 

As part of our plan, we will lead four business missions to the U.S. in 2024, focused on key areas of the Canadian economy where there are significant opportunities for growth and synergy with the U.S. economy: life sciences, Canada-U.S. trade, artificial intelligence and critical minerals. We will execute these missions in collaboration with several on-the-ground U.S. partners.

Past Missions

North American Economic Security | May 1-2, 2024

On May 1 and 2, in collaboration with our Washington, D.C. partners – the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Canadian Embassy – we held the second of our 2024 missions to Washington, DC.

This mission focused on North American Economic Security in the context of the 2026 CUSMA review, upcoming federal elections in all three of the member countries within the next two years, and the growing geopolitical volatility worldwide. Delegates had an opportunity to engage on the topic of North American economic security as a shared policy objective, with a focus on opportunities for revitalizing economic cooperation between the three countries. The program featured elected officials, policy experts and business leaders from the U.S., Mexico and Canada, who discussed pathways to greater economic integration, business risks and opportunities, and the broader geopolitical context.

Life Sciences | April 2-3, 2024

On April 2-3, 2024, in Washington, D.C., along with our U.S. partners, we facilitated engagement opportunities with trade and supply chain experts, policymakers, researchers, academia, thought leaders and industry leaders from both countries.

These interactions were designed to foster dialogue, identify key strategies and forge long-lasting relationships in the life sciences space. The focus on collaboration between Canada and the United States united both countries and continued to support the integration of Canada’s life sciences industry into the global supply chain, thereby enhancing our competitiveness and improving our readiness for future health emergencies.
