Deputy Premier Gordon Wyant and Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison will conduct a week-long trade mission to Israel.  The mission includes stops in both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv where the Deputy Premier and Minister will meet with senior government officials, private industry and a number of Israeli academics and research organizations.

The mission will allow the delegation to showcase Saskatchewan’s agriculture sector; seek opportunities to increase trade; highlight investment opportunities in the province; promote the Protein Industries Canada supercluster; and encourage Israeli companies to look to Saskatchewan as a place to establish a presence in North America.

Highlights of the mission include:
  • identifying new trade opportunities within the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement;
  • encouraging Israeli companies with cutting edge agriculture technology to establish a presence in Saskatchewan;
  • highlighting opportunities for Israeli companies to participate in the Protein Industries Canada Supercluster;
  • meetings with Israeli education organizations; and
  • more than 20 meetings with government officials, business, technology and research leaders.
