Toronto Finance International supported the planning of, but did not attend, the mission. The purpose of the Team Toronto mission was to engage with industry leaders to advance foreign direct investment (FDI) opportunities; promote Toronto as a tourist, convention and business travel destination; and engage key Canadian business leaders in London to activate them as Toronto ambassadors. One element, a trip to Dublin to visit with the organizers of the Collision Conference, was cancelled due to the growing concern with COVID-19. The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the Mayor's Team Toronto mission to London.
