Overview
A trade mission is an organized delegation of business executives and government officials who travel to a foreign market to explore international business opportunities, build commercial relationships, and promote exports. Unlike broad trade fairs, these missions are typically smaller, targeted events that facilitate direct, face-to-face meetings with pre-screened prospective buyers, distributors, agents, and government contacts.
