Explore business opportunities in Canada’s smart mobility market
Join the Nordic-Baltic Business Mission to Canada and explore new partnerships, customers and business opportunities in one of the world’s most interesting smart mobility markets. The mission is built around the ITS Canada Annual Conference 2027 in Montréal on 1–3 June and combines the conference with targeted business meetings, site visits, market guidance and networking.
Canada is actively looking for new international trade partners, while ambitious investments in transport and mobility are creating new opportunities for innovative solutions and services.
For Nordic and Baltic companies, this creates an attractive opportunity to enter and develop business in a market where our region already has a strong reputation for innovation and reliable partnerships.
ITS Finland, ITL Estonia and Linköping Science Park are bringing together Nordic and Baltic companies and public-sector organisations for a joint business mission to Canada from 31 May to 4 June 2027.
The aim is simple: connect Nordic and Baltic mobility and transport solution providers with relevant Canadian counterparts and turn market interest into concrete business opportunities.
What does the Business Mission include?
Rather than focusing only on attending a conference, the mission is designed to help participating organisations build relevant contacts and explore concrete collaboration and sales opportunities in Canada.
The programme includes:
- Individual B2B and B2G meetings with Canadian counterparts
- Group site visits
- Mentoring and market-entry guidance
- Joint Nordic-Baltic stand at the ITS Canada Annual Conference
- Networking events and opportunities
- Business opportunity development and pre-meetings ahead of the mission
