Keiretsu Forum Canada
Keiretsu Forum Canada was established in 2012 and has since grown to four chapters (London, Waterloo, York Region and Toronto). Keiretsu Forum brings together its investor members with the best investment opportunities in emerging companies from around the globe. While Keiretsu Forum Canada actively supports its local Ontario/Canadian entrepreneur community, it also recognizes that some of the best investment opportunities come from other geographies. Each month it brings local and globally sourced companies to their forum meetings.
