Dear readers,
Back to school – back to business! This season is brimming with opportunities: from expert panels and inspiring conferences to exciting delegation visits. We're also welcoming dynamic new members to our network.
A standout highlight of recent weeks was Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to Berlin in August, which underscored the critical importance of the German-Canadian partnership for addressing global challenges and strengthening economic ties in the years ahead. This visit comes at a particularly significant time as both Canada and Germany navigate complex economic conditions in 2025. This economic backdrop makes the German-Canadian partnership even more crucial for diversifying trade relationships and strengthening economic resilience.
Meanwhile, trade tensions continue to ripple across Canada and Europe. The latest DIHK flash survey offers valuable insights into how European companies are navigating the current climate.
Another special highlight this summer was our Member Summer Fest in Toronto – a cherished tradition that brings our members together. Thank you to all who joined us for what became a perfect evening filled with laughter, engaging conversations, and great company.
Let's make this busy season a productive one – together!
Best regards,
Yvonne Denz and the CGCIC team
