Hybrid format
CECI is proud to present the 2026 International Forum, organized by Groupe 3737, alongside Export Development Canada (EDC). The event will bring together entrepreneurs, organizations, experts and institutional stakeholders to explore opportunities for international development and collaboration.
At a time when Canadian businesses and organizations are looking to diversify their markets and build new international relationships, the Forum provides a space to better understand opportunities for expansion, make strategic connections, and explore different approaches to building sustainable and inclusive partnerships.
CECI’s participation is part of its Volunteer Cooperation Program (VCP), which fosters the exchange of expertise and the development of collaborations between Canadian professionals and partner organizations in several countries.
Through these exchanges, CECI helps build stronger connections between the international cooperation, entrepreneurship and business sectors, fostering relationships that create shared opportunities and strengthen the links between inclusive economic development and international trade.
During the Forum, CECI will lead a workshop on building sustainable international partnerships. It will be an opportunity to look beyond access to new markets and explore who to collaborate with, how to develop relationships based on reciprocity, and how to combine business development with inclusive economic benefits.
Two workshops, a panel featuring entrepreneurs active internationally, and a networking session will provide participants with opportunities to discuss access to international markets, partnership development and expansion strategies.
