Que Pasa in ARGENTINA: Business Dialogues on Latin America

The Canadian Council for the Americas Alberta in alliance with the Argentinean Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the support of Alberta Economic Development Trade and Tourism would like to extend you an invitation to participate at the upcoming Zoom Webinar “QUE PASA IN ARGENTINA” BUSINESS DIALOGUES ON LATIN AMERICA that will take place on Thursday May 28, 2020 at 9:00 am Calgary time (Mountain Standard Time) as part of our Que Pasa in Latin America Series. The program is a signature CCA event which provides participants with first-hand information, key contacts, and valuable market intelligence to support their efforts to do business in strategic sectors of the Argentinean market.

The Que Pasa in Argentina program is intended to provide a general perspective on the opportunities and challenges that exist for Canadian and Argentine companies to collaborate in sectors including Energy, Agri-Business and Capital/Investment Infrastructure Sectors, which are some of the ones we have identified as strategic in the relationship between Argentina and Canada, particularly with Alberta. Due to the unprecedented circumstances that we all are facing as a result of COVID-19, the webinar can be a good opportunity to share some perspectives on the implications that the pandemic will have on the way of doing business in Argentina.
