IB7 Consulting will be attending SIAL Canada 2026 in Montréal this April — North America's largest food innovation trade show — as part of its ongoing commitment to opening international doors for Canadian agri-food businesses.

Taking place April 29 to May 1 at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal, SIAL Canada brings together over 1,000 exhibitors from 44 countries and more than 21,000 professional visitors including importers, distributors, retailers, and food industry decision-makers from across the globe. For IB7, the event represents a key opportunity to advance cross-border partnerships and identify new market entry pathways for Canadian SMEs looking to expand internationally.

At SIAL 2026, IB7 will be focused on three core activities: identifying export-ready Canadian agri-food companies seeking entry into Latin American and European markets; facilitating introductions between international buyers and Manitoba-based producers and processors; and advancing trade mission preparation for clients eyeing the Canada↔Europe and Canada↔Latin America corridors that sit at the heart of IB7's work.

The agri-food sector is one of IB7's primary FDI focus areas, and SIAL Canada — now in its 20th year as a North American industry fixture — is the ideal stage to put that focus into action. IB7 will be attending with capacity to take on new trade mission mandates, and encourages any Canadian company interested in international market expansion to reach out ahead of the event.
