Where we invest
Canada is the second largest country in the world, modern and diverse. It has an intact economy and is politically stable. The Canadian economy is dynamic and expanding steadily.
Canada is a *safe haven* for investors.
The EU has one of the most open and transparent foreign direct investment (FDI) regimes in the world, making it one of the most important foreign direct investment destinations in the world. As a result, FDI stocks held by third country investors in the EU amount to around EUR 6.295 billion. Investing in the EU provides access to a highly integrated single market with 500 million consumers and investment opportunities.
CGI will establish the revolutionary technologies developed in Canada, which are the target of the investments, in the EU as well in order to be part of the future here too.
