Trade shows offer a valuable opportunity to showcase your company’s products and connect with new and established contacts to boost your presence in international markets.
Under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (SCAP), participating in tradeshows is more accessible for Canadian businesses. AAFC provides financial assistance through two streams:
Canada Pavilion Program
Large-scale pavilions providing Canadian companies access to exhibit at the world’s largest food and beverage tradeshows under a cohesive national brand identity.
AgriMarketing (National Industry Associations)
Aims to increase and diversify exports to global markets and seize market opportunities via industry-led promotional activities.
