Field trip at BST The German Canadian Concourse, founded in 2012, is a brand of the Canada Meets Germany Network e. V. (CMG-NET), a non-profit association registered in Germany.

The aim of Canada Meets Germany is to establish a solid and lasting foundation for dialogue between the two countries.

The Canada Meets Germany Network provides a framework for dedicated pro-fessionals from a variety of fields including business, politics, academia, science, culture, and the media to meet and exchange ideas.

The German Canadian Concourse is the flagship project of the Canada Meets Germany Network managed by the CMG-NET Board.

The GCC Match-Making Process
 
Match-Making The German Canadian Concourse is about match-making.

Bringing together German and Canadian thought leaders from topic-matter relevant industries, academic institutions and the public sector during the daylong event creates a unique opportunity to generate transatlantic linkages between participants.

Provided in part by the Transatlantic Symposium format, which uses a live video-link connecting the German and Canadian Concourse Hubs, the GCC also offers a custom match-making service built into the conference itself. As part of this service, participant profiles generated during the registration are used to connect matched parties ad-hoc using video booths to bridge the Atlantic whenever required.

Participants are offered the option to have their personal profiles included into a follow-up on potential transatlantic opportunities.
