Fostering connections in Canada
Canada and Utah are known for the great outdoors, nice people, and an abundance of moose. But that’s not all we have in common — we both have booming tech sectors, growing energy needs, and a surplus of natural resources. With $1.7 billion in exports going from Utah to Canada in 2023 (and $3.07 billion in imports coming to Utah), it should come as no surprise that it is Utah’s second-largest trading partner.
In April, we’re heading north for a trade mission led by Gov. Cox with Utah businesses to Montréal and Toronto.
The delegation will focus on investing in Utah’s access to, and business in, critical minerals, which will be increasingly important to businesses in the years to come. Additionally, they will explore partnership opportunities with Canada’s robust artificial intelligence ecosystem, especially as it relates to key sectors such as life science and fintech.

A visit from the Beehive State
Last spring, World Trade Center Utah led top Utah outdoor product and tech companies on a high-impact business trip to Toronto. While in Canada, we participated in 62 market briefings, networking receptions, Q&A panels, and B2B matchmaking sessions! We also heard from over 40 experts, speakers, and consultants about the ins and outs of business in Canada.
Organized by the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity and World Trade Center Utah, international trade missions and shows reinforce Utah’s commitment to foster global partnerships and drive economic prosperity.
