South Carolina and Canada are celebrating a record high in investments, thanks to a friendly business environment and growing economic ties. Canadian companies, attracted by South Carolina's hospitality and opportunities, are making waves with new ventures, boosting jobs and innovation across the state. This growth is driven by strong trade ties, significant exports from South Carolina to Canada, and expanding Canadian company investments in the state, highlighting a robust economic partnership. “Companies come to ecosystems where companies like them are already working,” Canadian Ambassador to the United States, Kirsten Hillman said. “So, you start to grow an auto sector or an advanced manufacturing sector that has specialists and researchers and technicians and workforces and suppliers and purchasers; more companies will gravitate to that ecosystem.” https://loom.ly/iQv8xNI
