For too long, businesses have under-leveraged the opportunities provided by the country’s global network of trade agreements. In fact, according to AIMIA’s 100 Global Champions Report (2016) only five per cent of export-viable companies are actually trading globally.

The Toronto Region Board of Trade’s 2020 Vision is to make Toronto one of the most competitive and sought-after business regions in the world. Focusing on three strategic pillars−trade, transportation and talent−is how the Board plans to realize its vision.
