SEUS-CANADA GEORGIA PROCUREMENT WEBINAR
Tuesday, May 11th, 2021

The Southeast U.S.-Canadian Provinces (SEUS-CP) Alliance was established in 2007 to present the opportunity for businesses to enhance commercial ties, promote two-way trade and investment and encourage technological exchanges between the member states and Canadian provinces. The Alliance reinforces the importance of the long-standing U.S.-Canadian relationship, and expands commercial opportunities in underdeveloped sectors and markets through new partnerships.
Members of the Alliance include:
- U.S. – Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
- Canada – New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec.
These states and provinces offer growing trade and investment opportunities for companies in both countries. Goods and services trade among Alliance members continues to thrive, with total trade exceeding USD $34.2 billion in 2020.
The SEUS-CP Annual Conference will return to Georgia in the spring of 2022.
