The World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank recently invited 12 Canadian business people from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario to Washington for a two-day seminar series. The staff at these two international financial institutions (IFIs) learned a lot about Isite’s expertise in the natural resource, high-technology and cultural tourism sectors--knowledge these IFIs can apply to business projects in the Americas.
When the delegation arrived in Washington, the Office of Liaison with International Financial Institutions at the Canadian Embassy in Washington and the Canadian Executive Directors' offices at the banks provided an overview of their key responsibilities and advised how Canadian firms can pursue market opportunities supported by the IFIs. In addition to the invited delegation, other Canadian companies with experience building relations between Canadian and Latin American indigenous groups through IFI projects participated in the mission as well.
The delegation also explored the possibility of individually developing and implementing projects with IFIs and in partnership with Canadian companies that have experience in delivering World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank contracts.
