Germany In Canada

Productive meeting with 🇩🇪 🇪🇸 🇪🇺 global onshore wind leader Nordex Wind about their growing footprint in Canada and wind as part of the solution to double Canada’s electricity generation. With increasing challenges on critical infrastructure like electricity grids, 🇨🇦 can count on secure and reliable partners!

“A very touching evening at Machzikei Hadas with Rabbi Scher & a room full of stories that moved me deeply. We discussed Jewish life in 🇩🇪 and how government supports it, our joint fight against antisemitism and the high penalties our criminal code foresees for Holocaust denial.

I explained 🇩🇪‘s federal + provincial Antisemitism Commissioners and standing joint federal and state commission and how Bundeskriminalamt and Bundesverband RIAS e.V. collect data. How we train teachers and law students. We are far from perfect and as Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz Merz has said:

‘The fight against antisemitism and misanthropy as well as remembrance of the Shoah, is the ongoing responsibility of all our citizens.’”

- Ambassador Tjorven Bellmann

🇨🇦 On nearly every Canadian credit card, you’ll find a tiny, almost invisible logo: “G&D.” The German company Giesecke+Devrient brings and to millions of people around the world through secure banknotes, trusted payment cards, and protected communications solutions.

At the opening of G&D’s new AI Hub at Mila - Quebec AI Institute, one thing was clear: the 🇩🇪🇨🇦 AI partnership is built on trust.

Ambassador Bellmann said: “175 years of family business excellence meet Canadian AI leadership to develop the security technologies of tomorrow.”

That is exactly why the Sovereign Technology Alliance between our two countries is so powerful.

Minister Evan Solomon summed it up perfectly: “A partnership built on trust is invaluable. Because sovereignty is not about standing alone—it is about partnership.”

Human-centred AI lies at the heart of the shared values of Germany and Canada. MILA and G&D embody that vision. And Germany will showcase it again in September as the featured country at , Canada’s largest tech and data event.

What a lovely way to mark the end of the school year at the German Language School Ottawa (German Language School Ottawa Inc.)!

It was a pleasure to join students, families, teachers, and volunteers as they celebrated another year of learning, growth, and connection through the German language. The enthusiasm of the students and the dedication of the entire school community were on full display throughout the afternoon.

A sincere thank you to everyone who contributes their time, energy, and commitment to keeping German language and culture vibrant in Ottawa.

We were delighted to be part of this special year-end celebration and wish the entire school community a wonderful summer break. 🇩🇪🇨🇦

Last Friday, we had to bid farewell to many wonderful colleagues leaving us this summer. It was a privilege to work with you all; you will be greatly missed.
