In collaboration with Ministers' Council on the Canadian Francophonie (MCCF)

In an increasingly globalized, multilingual world, French is one of the languages with the highest growth projections, with the world's French-speaking population expected to reach 700 million speakers by mid-century. And from Africa to Vietnam, from Canada to France, 20% of the world’s trade involves Francophone countries. How can Canadian companies leverage the economic network of the Canadian Francophonie to develop more business partnerships abroad? How can we take advantage of the growth of the international francophone space to make it a key driver of economic growth for Canada?

Panel discussion during the Toronto Global Forum 2023, featuring Gaëtan Thomas, Chair, Alliance de la francophonie économique canadienne (AFEC), Charles Milliard, President and CEO, Fédération des chambres du commerce du Québec (FCCQ), Catherine Tadros, Chief Representative, Bureau du Québec à Toronto, Yan Plante, President and CEO, RDÉE Canada; Moderated by Carl Bouchard, Interim French Language Services Commissioner of Ontario.
