External/Inbound Trade Missions
The Ministry of Economic Development is
spearheading the BC government’s efforts to increase trade and
investment opportunities in high-growth sectors by promoting the
province’s business advantages internationally and by facilitating
capital investment projects, particularly in the regions.
International Marketing Branch
Supports
British Columbia’s international sales efforts as well as the federal
posts and assists in incoming and outgoing business missions.
A key strategy has been the implementation of an
In-Market Representation Program across target markets in Europe, Asia
and the United States. Launched at the beginning of 2006 to leverage the
2006 Torino Winter Olympic Games, the In-Market Program currently includes four
Pan-European consultants based in Germany, the United Kingdom, and Denmark. They
are engaged in extensive investment attraction and trade promotion
activities in the areas of Technology, Advanced Manufacturing, Culture
and Resources. Eight more representatives are being recruited in the
United States, China, Japan and Korea.
The In-Market Representatives increase
international awareness of British Columbia's investment opportunities
and competitive advantages. They identify and pursue investment leads; and
work with other levels of government and the private sector to
encourage and facilitate new investment in the province.
