In February 2001, CCBC participated in the historic Team Canada mission to China, which travelled to Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong from February 9–18.

With more than 600 business delegates, it was the largest Canadian trade mission ever organized at the time. The program included major business and government engagements, including a banquet attended by 2,600 people.

These photos from the CCBC archives offer a look back at the mission and an important chapter in the history of Canada–China business engagement.

On August 28, the Canada China Business Council (CCBC), in collaboration with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), hosted a business roundtable during a visit to Canada by a delegation from the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).

The roundtable brought together senior leaders from CIPO and CNIPA, including Dr. Zhang Zhicheng, Deputy Commissioner of CNIPA, and Konstantinos Georgaras, Chief Executive Officer of CIPO. CCBC Executive Director and COO Bijan Ahmadi moderated the session, joined by CCBC members in person in Ottawa and others participating virtually. Participating members brought experience in intellectual property, law, technology and cross-border business.

Discussion topics included the evolving intellectual property landscape in Canada and China, practical considerations for businesses entering either market, the impact of emerging technologies, and opportunities to strengthen cross-border IP protection, including support for small and medium-sized businesses.

We were delighted to hear about renewed engagement and expanded cooperation between CIPO and CNIPA, including the signing of a new MOU and recent five-year extension of the Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program. This program helps Canadian and Chinese innovators pursue patent protection more efficiently across both markets.

Thank you to CIPO, the CNIPA delegation, CCBC members and all participants for contributing their expertise and perspectives to this valuable exchange. CCBC remains committed to working closely with both agencies to advance the interests of the Canadian business community.
