Trade Mission: SIAL Paris

With more than 310,000 attendees and 7,200 exhibitors from over 200 countries, SIAL Paris is one of the world’s largest and most influential food innovation trade shows. The event serves as a global platform for networking, showcasing industry trends, and exploring pioneering developments across the food and beverage sectors. It features a wide range of conferences, workshops, experience zones, and speaker sessions, addressing key industry challenges while highlighting innovations in retail, food service, and food processing.

Through the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), STEP members gain competitive and preferential access to the EU market. In recent years, Saskatchewan has been a leading supplier to Europe, exporting significant volumes of lentils, mustard seeds, and other agricultural products. SIAL Paris provides STEP members with a strategic opportunity to sell conventional and organic food ingredients, beverages, and retail food products to buyers from the EU and around the world, expanding international market presence.
