From a Two-Day Trade Show to a Year-Round B2B Platform
One of the major initiatives announced for Toronto Trade Show 2027 is the launch of Noah Prime, a B2B digital platform designed to extend business opportunities beyond the physical exhibition.
The platform will enable exhibitors, buyers and professional service providers to showcase products, promote businesses, connect with potential partners and exchange resources throughout the year.
By combining face-to-face trade show engagement with ongoing digital business matching, Toronto Trade Show aims to evolve from an annual event into a year-round international trade and business platform.
The 2027 edition will also further integrate artificial intelligence and digital technologies into exhibition operations, buyer matching and business services.
Stronger Advisory, Industry and Association Network
During the press conference, CCEOSC expanded its advisory and expert network with professionals from international trade, investment, technology, education and business development.
New advisors include Justin Poy, Founder of Justin Poy Agency; Marc Kealey, former advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada; Dr. Reza Moridi, former Ontario Minister of Research, Innovation and Science; and other Canadian and international business leaders and industry professionals.
A dedicated Toronto Trade Show 2027 Organizing Committee, consisting of more than 20 professionals, has also been established to oversee exhibitor recruitment, buyer engagement, international promotion, business partnerships, media relations and event operations.
In addition, 15 Canadian business associations and community organizations have been invited to participate as supporting organizations, further expanding the show’s business and industry network.
CCEOSC also announced the establishment of its Guangzhou Development District Investment Promotion Office and Hong Kong Office, strengthening its ability to connect businesses and resources between Canada and China.
Expanding Global Connections
CCEOSC is strengthening cooperation with international organizations, including IECIA, whose network spans 38 countries and regions.
Through this collaboration, Toronto Trade Show will connect with more international innovation companies, technology brands and industry organizations. The partnership will also create opportunities for Canadian companies and innovative projects to access business networks and markets in China and the Asia-Pacific region.
Two international cooperation agreements were also signed during the press conference, covering education and supply chain development.

Connecting Businesses to Global Opportunities
Toronto Trade Show 2027 will continue to develop as an open platform for product showcasing, procurement, business matching, market development and international cooperation.
