The mission started in Montreal, then moved to Toronto, and allowed to support SMEs to find potential business partners, present their food products and healthy supplements and learn the specificities of the Canadian market, in order to aim for possible new business agreements and promising collaborations.

Participation involved an application and enrolment process, with EQUANTO and Ramirez & Cª (Filhos), S.A. selected on the Portuguese side.
