In recent years, great efforts have been made to attract global head offices to Vancouver, British Columbia. Today, those efforts are paying off, as many companies from around the world – especially Asia – are choosing to establish roots in our city.
Â
Organizations like HQ Vancouver, which is a joint federal-provincial program created to persuade companies to set up regional headquarters in Vancouver, have played a vital role in this success. So far, a half dozen of Chinese companies alone have recently chosen Metro Vancouver for their foreign head offices.Â
Â
But, what makes Vancouver so appealing to global businesses? According to HQ Vancouver, there are a number of factors, such as:
Â
•   Proximity to key markets in Asia, Europe and the Americas
•   Educated and skilled workforce
•   World-class transportation networks
•   Stable government with sound financial system
•   Universal health care
•   Quality educational institutions
•   Highly livable city
•   Clean and safe environment
•   Multiculturalism
