Market Entry

the north american market entry space

Toronto is home to more than 6.7 million people and represents over 20% of Canada’s GDP. Within just a few hours’ travel, companies gain access to a market of more than 135 million consumers across Canada and the United States. The city’s cultural diversity, highly skilled workforce, and open business climate make it an excellent gateway for Danish companies seeking to expand in North America.

 

A Diverse Economy

While Toronto is known for its strong financial services and technology sectors, the region also offers opportunities in:

• Green transition & cleantech – energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure
• Life sciences & health – pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and healthcare solutions
• Food & agribusiness – innovative food products, sustainability, and production technologies
• Design & architecture – urban development, smart infrastructure, and sustainable building
• Logistics & supply chain – leveraging Toronto’s location as a hub for trade across North America

This economic diversity makes Toronto a strong entry point for Danish companies across industries.

 

Easy Access to the Canadian Market

With the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada, Danish companies benefit from reduced tariffs, easier regulatory frameworks, and improved market access. This agreement makes Canada one of the most accessible markets outside Europe for Danish exporters.
