Strengthening Transatlantic Relations: Mercan Properties at the Portugal–Canada Forum

Last week, Jordi Vilanova, President of Mercan Properties, participated in the Portugal–Canada Forum held at the World Trade Center Lisbon Business Club.

The event brought together business leaders, government representatives, and institutional stakeholders, including Elise Racicot, the Ambassador of Canada to Portugal, to discuss the growing economic and commercial ties between the two countries. The forum served as a platform to explore opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth across shared strategic sectors such as technology, tourism, energy, and real estate development.

As a Canadian company with a decade-long presence in Portugal, Mercan Properties was proud to contribute to the dialogue that continues to strengthen transatlantic relations. Over the past ten years, Mercan has played an important role in driving investment, creating jobs, and promoting cultural and economic exchange between Portugal and Canada.

At Mercan Properties, we view the relationship between both nations as a strategic bridge - one built on shared values, trust, and a commitment to long-term development. Through our projects and partnerships, we remain dedicated to fostering meaningful connections that contribute to the sustainable and prosperous future of both countries.
