About

hub.brussels is organising a multisectoral economic mission to Vancouver, one of Canada’s most dynamic and fast-growing regions. This tailor-made mission is designed exclusively for Brussels businesses looking to explore new opportunities and expand their presence on Canada’s West Coast.

Taking place in Vancouver, this mission will feature a well-balanced program combining collective site visits, targeted networking opportunities, and personalized B2B meetings. The aim is to provide participants with both a broad understanding of the local business ecosystem and the chance to forge concrete partnerships with Canadian counterparts.

Thanks to the on-the-ground expertise of our Economic and Trade Representative in Vancouver, participants will benefit from curated insights and connections relevant to their specific sectors.

Whether you’re looking to break into the Canadian market, scale your international presence, or simply better understand the opportunities offered by Vancouver’s vibrant economy, this mission is the ideal gateway.

Program

The mission’s programme will be tailored to the participants’ profiles and the sectors represented, ensuring that each company benefits from relevant opportunities, targeted meetings, and sector-specific insights aligned with their strategic interests.
