Montreal thrives on digital innovation; for foreign companies looking to break into the Canadian market, the metropolis stands as a true growth accelerator. It is in this vibrant context that Dentons Canada S.E.N.C.R.L., Canada’s global law firm, is passionately involved with MTL connect: Printemps numérique de Montréal.
Firmly rooted in Quebec, with a presence in Canada’s six major economic hubs and in over 80 countries, Dentons has been supporting technology, manufacturing, and service companies in their North American expansion for decades. Our partnership with MTL connect stems from a shared goal: to provide international innovators with a one-stop shop to understand, anticipate, and secure their establishment in Canada while benefiting from Montreal’s digital momentum.
With this in mind, we invite business leaders from around the world to two must-attend events taking place as part of MTL connect.
On October 27, Me Xavier Van Overmeire, a Dentons partner recognized for his expertise in international trade, will speak at a session bringing together five organizations with complementary expertise. He will address the key legal aspects of establishing foreign businesses in Montreal and Canada, including the development of a corporate structure, effective establishment strategies, and leveraging free trade agreements that make Canada a privileged gateway to the American and European markets.
This session will be a unique opportunity for international leaders to gain concrete insights to successfully execute their expansion projects in Canada.
On October 31, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., Dentons will open its downtown Montreal offices to host a series of five in-depth workshops for decision-makers ready to move from theory to action. Alongside Me Van Overmeire, who will lead a workshop on the legal aspects of establishing a business in Canada, four other leading specialists will cover every facet of a successful establishment: Julien Lassonde from BDO will break down government incentives and tax credit mechanisms; Thibault Le Coz from Desjardins Entreprise will present best practices in banking and financing; Marie-Françoise Hervieu from Drakkar Digital will reveal the keys to a harmonious entrepreneurial cultural integration through mastered public relations; and Alexandre Lagarde from Montréal International will outline the many advantages of the greater metropolitan area, from its multilingual talent pool to its operating costs, which are among the most competitive in North America.
Whether you are a startup or a medium or large company looking to expand your operations in Canada, these two events offer an unparalleled concentration of expertise. In less than a week, you will gain the strategic vision, practical advice, and key contacts to turn your Canadian ambition into tangible success.
Montreal welcomes you with open arms. Whatever your growth strategy, Dentons Canada S.E.N.C.R.L. and its partners are here for you. Reserve your spot today and be part of Canada’s digital future:
