Canada’s Powerful East Coast Center of Trade.
This program will focus on the importance of Montréal, and the St. Lawrence River in trade for both Canada and the US. Expansion of port and intermodal activities involves many seaside and land side use issues, as well as significant transportation related issues.
Our speakers will discuss how comprehension of geopolitics, economy, technology and politics are critical to supporting significant infrastructure projects.
To discuss these challenges and opportunities, we will receive representations from Cargo M, Canadian National Railway (CN) and CGI.
