The moderator is Mr. Kelvin Mo, keynote speakers are Ms. Jocelyn Kao, Mr. David Perez Desrosiers and Ms. France Despatie.

Jocelyn is a senior real estate broker with years of experience in the industry, she pointed out that Quebec still has excellent real estate investment opportunities. Inflation is temporary, and interest rates will not remain high indefinitely. With an increase in available housing supply and relatively lower prices, it is a good timing for buyers to invest in the market. The most popular properties for investment are vacation lots, chalets, condos, and single-family homes in the suburbs of Montreal.

As the deputy director of the Canada China Business Council, David mentions that Quebec offers a favourable investment environment and policies, maintaining a stable and friendly relationship with China. Quebec holds a leading position globally in aerospace, green building, gaming industry, and life sciences, exerting significant influence in China as well.

Finally, France delivers a brilliant presentation.  She reminds investors and companies about the importance of understanding the local business culture and organizational structure when executing global mergers and acquisitions.

“By reducing cultural conflicts and communication barriers, acquisitions and mergers can be conducted efficiently.”
