Project Partner
In collaboration with Commit Project Partners GmbH (COMMIT) and on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, we will conduct a business delegation for German companies in the field of Railroad construction, Railroad technology, and Railway transportation to the provinces of Ontario and Quebec from November 3 - 7, 2025.
Market Situation
Canada is emerging as a significant trading partner for Germany. The Canadian government's numerous rail transportation and infrastructure projects present various business opportunities for German companies. The provinces of Ontario and Québec, with their capital cities Toronto and Montréal, are central to these modernization and expansion plans, supported by extensive measures and high levels of investment across the country.
In 2021, Justin Trudeau's government decided to expand the passenger train network along the country's most populous corridor, Québec - Toronto. This initiative particularly promotes the construction of passenger rail lines in Canada. Ontario, with several metro expansion projects, is considered the primary hotspot for rail projects. The "Ontario Line," a 16 km route for passenger transportation, is set to be built, and the subway in the northeast of Toronto is also being expanded. In Montréal, the "Réseau express métropolitain" (REM) will be the first fully automated metro line to go into operation.
Program
Purpose
The trip aims to introduce German companies to the Canadian rail industry. Participating companies will have the opportunity to establish personal contacts, attend individually arranged business meetings with Canadian companies in the industry, review new products and solutions, and develop collaboration opportunities. In addition to bilateral discussions and company visits, we are organizing a conference where participating companies can present themselves to a professional audience and attend panel discussions followed by a networking event.
