Introduction

The findings of the World Trade Centre Vancouver's Regional Export Framework, in partnership with the Conference Board of Canada, highlight opportunities within our priority markets and sectors to strengthen international trade, and offer a comprehensive analysis of our region's Gateway.

The Framework will serve as a reference guide, identifying the export markets that present key opportunities for B.C., Greater Vancouver and indigenous businesses.
As Canada's Pacific Gateway, Greater Vancouver has been the beneficiary of growth in Asia-Pacific trade, taking advantage of the comprehensive free trade agreements in both new and traditional trade blocks around the world. The Greater Vancouver Regional Export Framework is a compass for exporters and illustrates the significance of the Greater Vancouver Gateway to our national, provincial and regional economies.
