Each Team Canada mission draws business representatives from 8-10 identified business focus sectors which are deemed to hold the greatest promise for new business development with the Team Canada destination countries. For delegates, Team Canada trade missions provide an economical vehicle for them to familiarize themselves with new markets, to facilitate access to foreign political and business leaders, to enhance visibility in foreign markets, to help accelerate business deals to the contract closure stage, to provide a venue to meet other Canadian companies active in the same or complementary markets, and to strengthen relationships with foreign business partners and help develop relationships with new clients and counterparts.
There have been seven Team Canada missions since 1994: Russia and Germany in 2002; Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong in 2001; Japan in 1999; Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile in 1998; South Korea, the Philippines and Thailand in 1997; India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia in 1996; and China in 1994.
