Invest and expand in Canada 's Chemicals Industry
|
The Canadian Chemical Industry is one of the most competitive in the world. This is one of the main reasons that Canada has experienced tremendous growth in this sector, despite a worldwide industry slow down.
Between 1997 and 2003, international investors have pumped more than US$10 billion into the Canadian chemical industry, with petrochemicals accounting for a large part.
If you consider Canada as a place to grow your business, you are in good company. Almost every global chemical company in the world has production or R&D; facilities in Canada .
“ Canada is the most efficient and effective location in the world to carry out market-based technology development. Canada has a bank of trained professionals, it has government support for R&D;, and it is highly connected to the global business-operating infrastructure. This is the formula for business innovation.”
