CACT

Trade missions

CACT

Connecting Canada to Africa and the Caribbean through trade

A CACT trade mission is a curated delegation: market access, institutional introductions, and partnerships that outlast the itinerary — commerce, services, knowledge, and relationships.

Why join a mission

What a CACT mission delivers

Partnerships

Meet counterparts who can open doors — firms, chambers, and public institutions aligned with your mandate.

Market access

See the market on the ground: buyers, regulators, and channels that matter for Canada–Africa–Caribbean trade.

Institutional introductions

Structured meetings with host-country and Canadian institutions so conversations start with context, not cold outreach.

Follow-through

Support after the itinerary ends — next steps, contacts, and coordination so mission outcomes do not stop at the airport.
