• Deep Tech Canada holds a pre-departure meeting with participants to:

  • Discuss cultural considerations
  • Share plans
  • Introduce the delegation

• Host the Canadian pavilion and provide translators, meeting space (as available), and delegate support

Make the most of your journey and explore more than one market. Deep Tech Canada missions often include an optional add-on mission near the same region so you can build and strengthen even more relationships.

After the trade mission, Deep Tech Canada collects data from the event and input from participants to track results. We use the insights you and others share to enhance each new trade mission experience and activity.

Deep Tech Canada works closely with the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service and provincial offices to connect with our international partners.
