Canadá País Invitado Transfiere 2020

Canada was the guest country of the 9th edition of Transfiere. As such, the Canadian R&D&i ecosystem participates in the different activity areas of the Forum (networking, conference programme and exhibition area, among others).

Canada is positioned at the forefront of different types of science, technology and innovation, and is recognized as one of the most innovative and competitive economies in the world.

Additionally, Canada and Spain enjoy a stable and growing trading relationship and share strong links in terms of investment and scientific and technical collaboration.

These links have been strengthened with the entry into force of the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union at the end of 2017.
This section will be updated shortly with the Canadian entities and companies that will be present at Transfiere 2020.
