About the Forum
The Toronto Economic Forum seeks to foster new opportunities for further economic cooperation, highlight investment opportunities in both Canada and Greece and deepen the ties between the business & political elites and civil societies of the two countries.
Canada is one of the most extroverted countries in the world, playing a unique role in the global system. In its own merit, Toronto is a proudly international city with a multitude of diaspora communities who trace their roots in the region, and play a very active role in the city’s social, economic and political life; the Greek-Canadian community being a prime example.
With our unparalleled Greek network of experts from the full range of human activity, we are certain we can bring the region’s true “voice” to Canadian audiences.
