KEY DATES & WHAT TO EXPECT
Individual 1-2-1 support from Bandwidth (3 May – 2 July 2022)

Market Briefing Session (24 May 2022, 3.00pm-4.00pm)
This online session will provide an overview of the Canadian market (the Province of Ontario and potentially British Columbia).

WHY THE CANADIAN MARKET?
Canada is the second largest country in the world by area and is politically stable with a strong record of economic growth. The UK has well-established trade links with Canada, and both have similar legal and business practices. Canada has a highly developed and competitive market, its strong business and consumer base is sensitive to both price and quality. Bringing something new or different are often seen as the key to success, offering good opportunities for health & life science companies from the SE of England.
