Economic Forums
As part of the mission, economic forums will take place in Toronto and Montreal to showcase the growing sectors in Luxembourg, allow networking with potential business partners and strengthen economic ties between the two countries.
All participants will be able to connect to a dedicated app, which will allow them to interact with other participants and organise meetings before, during and after the Forum.
