Use the calendar below to find events for export-ready, Alberta-based companies to find new businesses opportunities and to diversify into different markets. The filter above the calendar allows you to sort by industry, type of events, and domestic vs. international events.
To support Alberta companies to start or grow their international exports, department staff facilitate attendance at international trade events abroad, also known as a mission. These missions provide an opportunity to assess market opportunities, meet potential buyers, and support partnerships.
How To Participate
Each year, Jobs, Economy and Trade leads Alberta-based, export-ready companies on numerous international trade missions. If your company is looking to export a product or service and would benefit from attending an international trade mission, please look at the event list below and complete the application form.
Please fill out and return the Mission Application Form.
Once you have completed the form, please select the “Submit” button on the form. The completed form will automatically be attached to an email that you can send to our mailbox.
Once you have attended a mission, you may also wish to apply for the Alberta Export Expansion Program, which provides funding to help cover the costs of travel to formal international trade events.
