Canada’s Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SRED) Program          Save up to 50¢ on every R&D dollar spent in Canada

The Consulate General of Canada in Atlanta, in partnership with Investissement Québec, invite you to a breakfast seminar, at which we will be presenting some of Canada’s/Québec’s creative and competitive business advantages, including:

-Lowest business investment taxes in the G7 in 2010

-Fastest economic growth in the G7 projected, for 2011

-World’s soundest banking system

While Canada is well known for its multiculturalism, innovation and exceptional quality of life, displayed recently during the XXI Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler, less well known is that Canada and the US are each others’ largest trading & investment partners – by far!

Canada’s and Québec’s reputation for aggressive tax incentives (R&D, corporate tax levels, etc.), has created one of the best business locations in the world for dynamic companies, with unique value propositions or cutting-edgetechnology, to locate or expand their businesses.
