The Business Council of Canada consists of CEOs and entrepreneurs across Canada. It is directly and indirectly supporting over six million jobs and hundreds of thousands of small businesses within the country.

The Council conducts research and analysis on Canada's human capital, industries and innovation, resources and environment, as well as its global standing. Based on these findings, it makes economic strategies and policy recommendations.

In September 2024, the Council established an Indo-Pacific Office in Tokyo, which will serve as a hub for deepening economic cooperation between Canada and Japan and further strengthening business relationships with corporates in broader Indo-Pacific region.

To assist with setting up the council's office in Tokyo, JETRO's Invest Japan Business Support Center (IBSC) provided consultation on matters related to its office establishment, including registration, taxation and labor management, PR support, and introductions to real estate service providers.
