Join Expo Canada 2006 in the Dominican Republic
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, March 22-24, 2006 > The Canadian Embassy in
the Dominican Republic, in cooperation with the Canadian-Dominican Chamber of
Commerce, is inviting Canadian companies to participate in Expo Canada 2006, a multi-sector trade show.
This event will provide companies from different industrial sectors with the opportunity
to showcase their products, services and technologies, to make targeted presentations and
to hold one-on-one meetings with Dominican importers and distributors. Expo Canada
will be a great opportunity to make direct contact with local companies who are
interested in importing or representing Canadian brands.
During the trade fair, the Trade Commissioner Service at the Canadian Embassy in the
Dominican Republic can schedule meetings with companies of interest to participants, as
well as arrange site visits.
The Dominican Republic is the third-largest export market in the Americas for U.S.
products (not counting NAFTA countries) after Chile and Brazil. Due to its geographic
location, improving transportation infrastructure and its economic and political stability,
the country is slowly becoming a regional hub for many large multinationals.
In fact, bilateral trade between the Dominican Republic and Canada reached $228 million
in 2004, with Canadian exports totalling $101 million and consisting mainly of paper
products, fish, cereals, vegetables, automobile parts and electrical equipment.
