The firm is expected to meet in person with 32 Canadian firms with existing Georgia operations. CIDEP is also asked to initiate contact with at least 45 new prospects and meet personally with at least eight of them to generate qualified leads that turn into active Georgia investment projects. Brian Kemp last year traveled to the German state of Bavaria to re-launch the state’s Munich office. That’s not to say that Georgia’s outreach will be limited to the province, as many of its largest partners are spread throughout Canada. Outgoing Canadian Consul General Nadia Theodore said her team would be ready to work with CIDEP to drive business ties between Georgia and Canada.
