Risk is everywhere!
In today’s increasingly global marketplace, every company has to consider particular risks involved in expanding its operations outside its domestic borders. Business risk appears in a bewildering variety of guises - financial risk, market risk, operational risk, reputational risk, intellectual property & copyright risk, geopolitical risk, security risk, and espionage risk, to name just a few. Understanding some of these risks is intuitive; however, many are not…

Risk is a constantly present factor in business decision-making process, and determining appropriate ways to manage and mitigate risks is crucial to the ultimate success of any new investments or expansion of existing business operations. Business risk management is key to the economic consequences of investments in many industries including mining and oil & gas where such investments can exceed billions of dollars, and many years to complete.

Success in business often comes down to recognizing and managing possible risks associated with potential opportunities and returns. The Global Business Risk Management Forum (GBRMF 2007) will highlight the challenges surrounding various forms of business risk that impact corporate entities due to the international nature of their business.

The GBRMF provides an ideal setting for guests to meet leading industry specialists in their fields and to network with their peers in an informal environment.

Who should attend GBRMF 2007: CEOs, CFOs, corporate governance officers, chief risk officers, board members, international business lawyers, cross-border taxation & international specialists, risk analysts, academic scholars, and anyone who is considering expanding their operations abroad.

Madame, Monsieur,

Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada en collaboration avec le Conseil de Commerce Canado-Arabe vous invite à participer à un séminaire d’information d’une demi journée sur le marché des produits halal à Montréal, mercredi le 3 octobre 2007.

En 2003, on comptait approximativement 1,4 millions de musulmans dans le monde. La croissance de la population musulmane est supérieure à l’offre de produits alimentaires disponibles dans les marchés du Moyen Orient et du Sud Est Asiatique. Le commerce des produits alimentaires halal est estimé à environ 150 milliards de dollars US par année.

Le progrès technologique, le développement des équipements et des infrastructures permet aux entreprises agroalimentaires canadiennes d’être compétitifs et d’être mieux positionnées pour répondre aux besoins croissants de la communauté musulmane en produits halal à travers le monde.

Le séminaire a pour objectif de donner un meilleur aperçu du marché des produits halal, des opportunités d’affaires pour nos entreprises agroalimentaires ainsi que de faire partager les expériences fructueuses vécues par nos entreprises.

Nous espérons vous compter parmi nous à cette activité d’une demi journée.

Nous vous remercions de bien vouloir compléter le formulaire d’inscription avec votre paiement de 40$ et de le faire parvenir au Conseil de Commerce Canado-Arabe par fax : 416- 362-7633 ou par courriel : info@canada-arabbusiness.org

The Canada Arab Business Council (CABC), in cooperation with Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, is pleased to invite you to a discussion and briefing on the market and opportunities for Canadian firms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The KSA is the largest economy in the Middle East, comprising 25 percent of the Arab world's GDP, and it is the world's leading oil exporter, possessing one-fourth of the world's proven oil reserves with an income of $17 billion per month. Saudi Arabian economic development is focused on developing the Kingdom's infrastructure, human resources, and private-sector, and the leadership is actively promoting the privatization of the industrial and agricultural sectors. Recently, the Saudi government has undertaken a major effort to support economic diversification and increase the development of non-oil sectors by encouraging private sector participation. This is creating significant opportunities for Canadian exporting firms in both goods and services. The discussion with Mr. Andreas Weichert will focus on business opportunities in Saudi Arabia and how business is conducted in this largest economy in the Middle East.
