ALA Back to the Roots: Ethiopia and Kenya Trade Mission


With Canada focusing on enhancing its business development relationships with Africa, the ALA aims to expand its mission through a program called Back to the Roots Travel Initiative. 

The objective of this annual initiative is to bring together 20+ Canadian business professionals & entrepreneurs from diverse sectors to foster connections and collaboration opportunities in key industries across Africa. 

This program is based on three pillars:

    • Strengthen bilateral trade ties and explore new market opportunities between Canada and Africa.

    • Explore opportunities for business investment in the short or medium term.

    • Promote Mutual Economic Growth: Collaborate with African businesses and institutions to drive sustainable economic development on both sides.

    • Connect with Industry Leaders: Engage with influential leaders across sectors to forge partnerships in trade, commerce, and investment.

    • Build connections that integrate economic initiatives with cultural immersion.

    • Explore the local activities & traditions and venture beyond the tourist attractions.

If you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to contact us at info@theala.ca for more information.
