Nova Scotia Business Inc. is currently seeking companies interested in attending Taste of Canada, in Chicago, Illinois. Taste of Canada offers an excellent opportunity for companies to showcase their food and non-alcoholic beverage products, at this event designed specifically for Canadian goods.

Invited buyers include: Acme Markets, ADW Acosta, Aldi, Albertsons, Amazon, Costco, Cub Food, Dill Pickle Food Co-op, European Imports (part of Sysco Foods), US Foods, Walgreens, Walmart, Whole Foods Market, Woodman’s and many more.

The grocery and foodservice sectors in the state of Illinois offers a dynamic and growing market for Canadian agri-food exporters, while providing an excellent entry point into the American market.

You will receive:

  • Tabletop Exposition and Networking: 40+ Canadian suppliers will engage with 30+ US buyers.
  • Business Matchmaking: Pre-scheduled one-on-one business meetings
  • Market/Store Tours: Learn more about the market and preferences of consumers in the region
