Virtual Trade Mission (VTM) Pilot
In the Fall TFO Canada launched a VTM pilot project with partners CEI-RD of Dominican Republic and ProEcuador and their counterparts in embassy in Ottawa and trade office in Toronto. The project is a virtual business-to-business (B2B) meeting that aims to:
- Assist exporters to establish and build business relationships with Canadian buyer participants over the internet and/or conference calls, with the ultimate purpose of landing purchase orders.
- Assist importers to connect with select suppliers from the comfort of their offices
- Make future in-person meetings during trade shows, inward and outward-bound trade missions much more efficient. Preliminary discussions on samples and prices might help to close deals faster
This pilot focussed on the Fresh Fruits and Vegetable sector with four export-ready companies from each country participating alongside six Canadian buyers. Several connections have been made to date, with possible successes in the works.
