The Canadian Innovation Showcase is a hosted networking and discovery session featuring food and ingredient companies from across the sector. Designed to connect delegates with Canadian capabilities in value-added agriculture, the showcase creates space for product sampling, business conversations, and direct engagement with innovators, processors, and market-ready companies.

The Opening Reception, concurrent with the Showcase, offers delegates an informal networking opportunity to continue conversations, build connections, and deepen engagement with Canadian companies and sector leaders. The session is designed to extend the momentum of the showcase by creating space for relationship-building, follow-up discussions, and new collaboration opportunities in a relaxed setting.
