"Challenges of Canadian Firms Going Global"

Canada's domestic market is too small to support the significant growth of more than a few companies in any given sector. To succeed, Canadian firms need to sell to the world.

On March 12 in Ottawa, the eighth annual RE$EARCH MONEY conference will examine the challenges Canadian firms face in trying to expand their business internationally and learn secrets of success from those that have gone global from the starting gate.

The conference opens with a keynote from David Martin, co-founder and Executive Chairman of SMART Technologies, a highly successful global company based in Edmonton.

Other keynote speakers include Alan Barrell, a successful entrepreneur and angel investor from the United Kingdom and Andrea Mandel-Campbell, a veteran journalist and author of the celebrated book, Why Mexicans Don't Drink Molson.

The RE$EARCH MONEY conference is being organized in collaboration with the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Other partners include Research In Motion Ltd, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, Information Technology Association of Canada and National Angel Capital Organization
