Expand your business horizons with CQCC’s upcoming Trade Missions!

CQCC’s Global Program is excited to announce a series of domestic and international Trade Missions running now through March 2026, to key markets including: Toronto (completed!), Japan/Taiwan, France, and Brazil/Colombia.

These missions are designed to open doors and spark connections through curated B2B matchmaking, market briefings, trade fair-style showcases, conferences, and high-value networking with SMEs and corporate buyers.

All 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs and other diverse-owned organizations are encouraged to submit an application, including those with minority LGBTQ+ ownership.
