    The CCI France Canada – Montréal is hosting the next edition of its Vous lancer au Canada conference, gathering experts and entrepreneurs to share real-life experiences and advice for expanding and growing across Canada.

    As part of this event, Christine Socasau, Executive Director of the CCI France Western Canada, will speak on the theme:
    Go West. Grow West. Understanding the Dynamics and Opportunities in Western Canada.

    Drawing from firsthand experience and a comparative look between Eastern and Western Canada, Christine will highlight:

    • The economic trends and innovation sectors shaping Western provinces;

    • The differences and complementarities with Montréal’s more familiar business landscape;

    • The evolving reality of Francophone immigration and workforce development in the West;

    • Why now is the right time for companies and investors to look West.

    • Discussion of the Committee Charter:
