Canada tour to attract investment Print E-mail
Monday, 15 October 2007

Enterprise Minister Jim Mather today begins a week-long North American tour aimed at drumming up interest in Scotland as a business and investment destination.

Canada will be the main focus of the visit, with Mather visiting Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver to meet Ministers and representatives from financial services, energy and life sciences companies, before rounding off his trip with a visit to Los Angeles.

Scotland and Canada have close cultural links, with many thousands of Scots having emigrated to the country. Canada is also one of Scotland’s major trading partners, with its share of Scottish exports rising considerably this decade.

Mather said:

“I will be proud to take the message to Canada that this is a tremendously exciting time to do business in Scotland. I am sure that message will resonate with them as we are adopting a North American attitude to doing business and focusing the whole country on our goal of increased sustainable economic growth.

“The news that Scotland is on the move is beginning to spread around the globe and I believe more and more people are waking up to the opportunities they can grasp by investing in Scotland. As the First Minister said in the US last week, we have everything it takes for a Celtic Lion economy to take off in Scotland. That will be the message I take to all the companies I meet during this visit. We have huge strengths in areas like clean energy, life sciences and financial services - where our innovation and expertise are leading the way.”
