The Alizés refer to the trade winds of the same name that helped establish the main maritime trade routes between continents over centuries and connect Canada to external markets. The Soirée des Alizés, presented by FAC, highlights the excellence of the work carried out by Canadian agri-food companies.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity, organized by the Group Export Agri-Food, to build new business connections, meet numerous international buyers, and showcase your company both in Canada and abroad. It is possible for a company to compete in two of the four award categories.
New! The Group Export has decided to simplify the application form to make it easier for exporting agrifood companies to apply. The new web format of the form will streamline the submission process.
