On Wednesday March 9th, the NATO Economy Forum on Mining and Infrastructure will take place in Toronto. The Economy Forum came to life as a response to NATO’s interest in economic development and security. The NATO Council strives to help realize this goal by increasing economic trade among NATO Allies and partner countries. This conference will offer ample opportunity for Canadian businesses to participate in some very valuable B2B and G2G meetings with foreign business and government representatives. The point of the Forum is to increase Canadian trade and investment with the participating countries. Listen as Honorary Consul Dr. Wojciech Pniejnia Olszyński discusses economic opportunities in Saskatchewan.
