Creative Industries Virtual Trade Mission to Sweden

Welcome to Canadian Creative Industries Virtual Trade Mission to Sweden

The objective of the mission is to connect creative industries companies from Canada in search of business opportunities in Sweden with Swedish buyers and potential partners.

 In the context of the postponement of the Canadian creative industries trade mission to Europe due to the pandemic, and following the successful delivery of the Creative Industries Virtual Trade Missions to the Netherlands in November 2020, and to Germany in March 2021, the Department of Canadian Heritage is proceeding with its third virtual trade mission to Sweden, scheduled on June 22 and 23, 2021.

This initiative reflects how Canadian Heritage pivoted its trade operations to virtual initiatives to continue to deliver its mandate under the Creative Export Strategy, helping Canadian creative industries maximize their export potential, despite the challenging circumstances created by the pandemic.

Mission Objectives

  • Allow companies to access valuable international business development opportunities despite restrictions on travel and on large gatherings;
  • Build momentum for the eventual in-person trade mission to Europe and for Canada's participation in Nordic Bridges 2022;
  • Introduce companies to potential partners/buyers/investors in the Swedish creative industry market ahead of their participation in the Europe mission, through high-quality, tailored matchmaking;
  • Leverage the virtual mission to Sweden as the gateway to  other Nordic markets; and,
  • Help creative industry SMEs adapt to the “new normal” and work towards recovery and closing future business deals.

Participants

The Canadian business delegation for the 2021 Virtual Creative Industries Trade Mission to Sweden is comprised of 20 Canadian creative companies and organizations that show high export potential and readiness for the Swedish market and operate in one of the following sectors: music, performing arts, audiovisual, and digital & interactive media.

How can you benefit from this event?
