PCCC President Bernhard L. Otterstein and Vice-President Areta Kempinska met with representatives of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and Canada’s Mission to the OECD in Paris yesterday in Warsaw, for a briefing regarding bilateral trade and investment opportunities between Poland and Canada, with a focus on the Atlantic Canadian Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland-Labrador. 

Economic sectors of particular mutual interest included energy, defense, shipbuilding and agriculture. The meeting also reviewed various forms of business development initiatives and pro-economic growth policies in Poland to brief the visiting delegation from Canada about how Poland has been such an economic success story within the EU over the past several decades.
