Canada isn't just North Carolina's closest international neighbor, it's also one of the state's most important economic partners.

As one of North Carolina's top trading partners, Canada plays a vital role in driving business growth. In 2025 alone, North Carolina exported $8.6 billion in goods to Canada and imported $4.6 billion—supporting industries, strengthening supply chains, and creating opportunity on both sides of the border.

That partnership continues to grow. Canadian company Swamp Rider recently announced a $2.4 million investment in North Carolina, further reinforcing the confidence Canadian businesses have in our state's competitive advantages.
