The US share of Canadian goods exports fell from 76 percent to 72 percent in a year, and Ottawa wants exports to non-US markets doubled by 2035. Most of that diversification has not happened yet, which leaves the question open at the level where it gets decided, one company at a time.

The Hong Kong vantage
Hong Kong is a global financial hub that is easy to reach, open for business and friendly to foreign entrepreneurs. But where to start? That is where we help. Our clients come from natural resources, renewable energy, high tech, medical technologies and biotech.
Invitation only
Time is limited when you visit Hong Kong. Our lunches put a visiting company's senior management at the same table as family offices, fund managers and hand-picked investors, with one-to-one meetings arranged around them. You deliver the message. We find the room.
Hong Kong
The partner you meet is the partner who executes. There is no junior team behind the curtain, because there is no junior team.
Our services tend to be required urgently. We work to the transaction, and when the goal is reached our clients move on without long-term costs.
We are compensated on completed transactions, not on hours. Our interest in your deal closing is the same as yours.
If your company is weighing an Asian listing, a raise, or a first step into the region, the conversation starts quietly and without obligation.
