2009 International Study Mission to Vancouver, B.C--August 19-22 |
|
|
This year, the Metro Chamber and Northern California World Trade Center join forces for an International Study Mission, Aug. 19-22, to study how the Vancouver, B.C. region has accomplished big goals and created a “eco-economic” culture through successful accomplishment of many small and tangible steps.
The Study Mission will explore how this Canadian region has become a world leader in the areas of sustainability, “eco-commercialization” of ideas and products, domestic and international trade growth and successful development of niche industries, like the film industry, all the while positioning itself to capture the 2010 Olympics as part of a greater tourism effort.
Vancouver is also a major export gateway to Asia with many lessons we can learn and bring back to our region as we look to expand our region's goods movement capacity.
Through the Metro Chamber and World Trade Center partnership on this trip, participants will receive a much broader range of economic development discussions, including how trade and international business relations have allowed Vancouver to become what it is today.
