Food & Beverage Market Activation Program

vip

The World Trade Centre Vancouver (WTC-V) continues its mission to support the success and growth of Canadian SMEs, both at home and through access to international markets and networks.  

In partnership with the World Trade Centre Toronto, WTC-V is organizing a bilateral trade mission for Canadian companies to promote interprovincial trade, minimize trade barriers and enhance domestic market expansion.

As travelling to other markets is not currently an option, WTC-V has created a unique virtual opportunity for B.C. brands to connect with the most appropriate buyers and go-to-market partners in Toronto and advance their expansion to Eastern Canada.

Why participate?
Interprovincial trade barriers cost the economy up to $130 billion a year. This program will show you how to take advantage of the domestic market and increase trade across Canada.

Who can participate?
Small-and-medium sized businesses within the Food & Beverage sector with a clear business strategy and production capacity to meet demand and expand into Toronto.

What will you experience?

  • Education sessions about the main trends in the industry, key challenges, and opportunities in the market.
  • Professionally organized business-to-business meetings with distributors, wholesalers and retailers.
  • One-on-one consulting sessions with market experts to refine your expansion strategy.
