OCNI leads nuclear trade mission to Argentina

The Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) in cooperation with Nuclear Metallurgical Commission of the Association of Metallurgical Industries of Argentina (ADIMRA) led a “Technology Linkage Trade Mission” of ten Canadian nuclear companies to Argentina in the week of March 13 to 17, 2017. The trade mission included meetings and site visits to nine leading Argentine industrial companies, all members of ADIMRA, and was supported by Global Affairs Canada, the Embassy of Canada in Argentina and the Ontario Ministry of International Trade. OCNI and ADIMRA signed a Cooperation Agreement on November 12, 2015 in Brampton, Ontario at the conclusion of the first “Technology Linkage Trade Mission” when eight Argentine companies visited Canada to explore collaboration opportunities with Canadian CANDU equipment suppliers in providing specialized equipment and services for the next CANDU reactor to be built in Argentina (IVNPP).
