OH CANADA!
If you plan to expand your business to North America, consider Canada.
Canada is now one of the fastest growing technology hubs in the world and offers an excellent quality of life, more affordable cost of living than Silicon Valley (approx. 30%), high quality workforce, low corporate taxes, incentives governmental for research and development, in addition to being fully integrated with the North American market; It is also a gateway to the Asian and European markets, in which, in addition to being geographically well located, it has a series of bilateral agreements, making Canada an excellent option for your company to become global.
Toronto is the financial capital of Canada, concentrating a significant number of research organizations, innovation centers, education hubs, business clusters, abundant venture capital and a growing startup ecosystem.
Canada's opening to immigrants and the proposal of diversity as a fundamental ingredient for innovation and creative development have generated short-term results and project an expectation of even greater future gains for the next generations.
Canada has the largest number of AI researchers in the world. The base technologies that enabled the development of AI applications, such as deep learning, machine learning, neural networks and natural language processing, were invented in laboratories at Canadian universities. The joint action of the Government, universities, large companies, startups, venture capital and Canadian entrepreneurs has sought to prepare Canada to compete for global leadership in R&D for companies, startups and professionals.
ECOSYSTEM & INNOVATION
The Canadian Government opens the doors to immigrants interested in entrepreneurship in the country with technology and directs considerable resources to support development.

WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT
Dream2b guided us on our internationalization journey, which made it possible to do business in the United States, Canada and several countries in Europe. And we continue to expand. The opportunities that arose from contact with Dream2B were immense. We just needed to know how to make the best use of them.
Felipe Peixoto
Co-founder and CEO SafetestThe Consulate General of Brazil in Vancouver has been very enthusiastic about carrying out missions by Brazilian entrepreneurs in the area of innovation and technology to the Vancouver ecosystem, with the purpose of qualifying and prospecting internationalization opportunities. Brazil and Canada have a lot to gain from establishing these ties. A fruitful partnership, spanning several years, with Dream2B has contributed greatly to these Consulate efforts.
