Industry Perspectives

Services required for Canada's participation at international expositions are obtained through the federal government's competitive bid process.

Expos help open doors to trade-related opportunities. Canada's participation has spurred the growth of strong industries in areas such as audio-visual/multimedia, exhibits and film. Canada's participation has also contributed to the development and world-wide marketing of expertise in expo-related industries. Canadian designers, architects and engineers often use their contribution to Canada pavilions as a means to promote their services to other international participants at upcoming expos.
