2026 Canadian Semicon Business Delegation to Oregon’s Silicon Forest

“The Oregon trade mission was a valuable experience for us at CEMWorks. With support from Global Affairs Canada, we were able to engage directly with key players across the region’s semiconductor ecosystem. The combination of curated site visits, thoughtful programming, and targeted B2B meetings offered real opportunities to build relationships and gain insight into the local market. Initiatives like these have a real impact on how Canadian tech companies like ours grow internationally.”

“Canada-Oregon Trade mission is one of the best executed missions. It had site visits, bus tours, explained incentives, and match matching.”

“Overall the program was well organized and ran smoothly. The manufacturing side of semiconductors was less relevant to our business which is more focused on the design side, but we still got to meet with some possible partners in the B2B sessions. The company tours did help provide insight into an area I don't normally get to see so had high educational value, though the B2B sessions were the most relevant for our business. Good job and looking forward to the next tour.” 

“Participating in the semiconductor trade mission in Portland, Oregon was an exceptional experience. The program offered valuable insights through facility tours of leading-edge semiconductor companies and provided meaningful one-on-one matchmaking sessions that led to promising business connections. It was a well-organized and highly impactful opportunity to explore cross-border collaboration and deepen industry relationships in a rapidly evolving sector.”
