Welcome!

The dynamic relationship between Arizona and Canada has a long and fascinating history.  Early on, Canadian visitors discovered winters in the “Sonora Desert” and Arizona’s agricultural bounty has, for decades, made its way north.

Arizona’s explosive recent growth has propelled it to become the fastest growing state in the U.S. with a population increase of 40% since 1990.  Bilateral trade with Canada has evolved into a staggering 3.1 billion dollars annually…excluding tourism. Canada is the largest foreign investor in the State of Arizona.  A vibrant new trade paradigm has emerged eclipsing the traditional markets of tourism and agriculture.

The Canada Arizona Business Council was formed to promote a single mandate:  To increase bilateral trade between Canada and Arizona to $5 billion U.S. by 2008.  CABC brings together senior players in every industry on both sides of the border.  Our networking capability assures ‘1 degree of separation’ from the decision makers in any field.  These business leaders are the CEOs, Presidents, entrepreneurs, and professionals who will achieve that 5 billion dollar trade number.

Simply stated, the CABC facilitates business marriages at the decision maker level.

We heartily invite you to browse our site and learn more about our private sector group.  If you have business on either side of the border that you want to start, grow, or refine, consider aligning with our powerhouse council.  Only deal makers need apply.

I look forward to talking business with you,

R. Glenn Williamson
