Trade B2B & Mission Program
From multi-day programs, collective or individual, to sector-specific delegations, CIDEP coordinates complete agendas, secures high-value meetings, organizes site visits, and manages logistics. Our team routinely prepares and organizes foreign trade missions, including high-level delegations involving Governors, State Secretaries, and trade officials.
Our B2B export services are flexible by design
The same data-driven methodology powers three formats to match each company's needs and resources:
Trade Mission — a full group delegation program combining market research, matchmaking, and organized in-market meetings.
Individual Market Visit — the same qualification and matchmaking process, tailored to a single company's schedule and objectives. This solution is often prioritized for our work with States EDOs, for the delivery of their specific program structure, such as EMAS for NY State.
Virtual B2B — qualified meetings delivered remotely, with the same rigor of research, vetting, and preparation, without the need for travel.
“They have successfully aligned New York businesses with key Canadian partners, sparking immediate sales and long-term growth.”

Trade Mission Program
Our Trade Mission program is a fully managed, end-to-end business development service that connects participating companies with qualified, pre-vetted prospects in their target market. Rather than a simple networking trip, it's a structured matchmaking process that turns travel into high-potential business meetings.
Our goal is to provide a tailored, data-driven matchmaking process — from first screening to post-event follow-up — built to maximize every meeting's potential and give companies a genuine foothold in a new market.
How It Works
Every mission starts with a one-on-one consultation to assess each participant's export readiness and objectives, followed by a tailored Market Analysis covering size, regulations, competition, and pricing. From there, our team builds a targeted prospect list, contacts and qualifies each lead directly, and schedules meetings only with those who meet the bar — complete with full background and logistics. On-site, a dedicated team member supports delegates throughout, handling last-minute changes and facilitating introductions. After the mission, we debrief with each participant to capture outcomes and define next steps for turning meetings into lasting business relationships.
