Toronto, ON \u2013 September 26, 2026<\/span><\/h2>

On October 29\u201330, 2026<\/strong>, Canadian and European leaders will meet in Montreal for the next Canada\u2013EU Summit<\/strong>.<\/p>

That gives us only a few weeks to ensure Canadian business priorities are heard before the next major round of discussions.<\/p>

Canada and the European Union are considering a much deeper economic and strategic relationship \u2014 potentially creating new opportunities in:<\/p>

\u2022\u00a0European market access and exports<\/strong>
\u2022 Government and defence procurement<\/strong>
\u2022 Investment and supply chains<\/strong>
\u2022 Critical minerals and energy<\/strong>
\u2022 AI, technology and advanced manufacturing<\/strong>
\u2022 Construction and professional services<\/strong>
\u2022 Digital trade and financial services<\/strong><\/p>

Canada is already the\u00a0first non-European country participating in the EU’s SAFE defence initiative<\/strong>, and discussions are expanding into other areas of trade and economic cooperation.<\/p>

Before The October Summit, We Want To Hear From You<\/h2>

What does your business need from a closer relationship with Europe?<\/strong><\/p>

What barriers should Canada push to remove?<\/p>

What European markets could your company enter?<\/p>

What procurement, investment or partnership opportunities should Canada pursue?<\/p>

And what concerns should Ottawa address?<\/p>

Join Our Canada\u2013EU Business Dialogue<\/h2>

GTA Strategies is organizing <\/span>virtual business roundtables before the October 29\u201330 Summit<\/strong>.<\/span><\/h2>

We want to bring together Canadian\u00a0business owners, manufacturers, exporters, construction companies, technology firms, professional services, industry associations and other stakeholders<\/strong>.<\/p>

We will compile the ideas, concerns and recommendations we receive and communicate them to the\u00a0Prime Minister and appropriate federal ministers and officials ahead of the Summit<\/strong>.<\/p>

There is no cost to participate.<\/strong><\/p>

The October meetings are approaching quickly.<\/p>

If Canadian business wants to help shape what Canada seeks from a deeper relationship with Europe, the time to speak is before the talks \u2014 not after the decisions are made.<\/strong><\/p>

To participate in an upcoming virtual discussion or submit your recommendations:<\/p>

We look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
