Common Border, Common Issues

The longest common border in the world, U.S./Canada border is an efficient, collaborative marketplace that provides trade and investment, consumer protection, innovation, security and connectivity. More than $475 billion worth of goods cross it annually.

By working together we can not only maintain a seamless, secure supply chain we can make the most of our partnership to advance the Great Lakes Region.

At the Forum a new web-based resource to assist manufacturing firms with cross-border information will be unveiled.
