Event description

Natural Health and Nutrition Expo (NHNE) is Asia’s flagship exhibition for health, nutrition, and dietary supplements. The event serves as a key indicator of industry development trends. Taking place biannually and spanning over 40,000 square metres, NHNE attracts 120,000 omnichannel buyers to explore offerings presented by 1,200 suppliers from more than 30 countries and regions.

As in previous years, our staff in China will be organizing a Canada Pavilion at NHNE. The pavilion will bring together participating TCS clients, highlighting the strength of the Canadian brand and its well-recognized Natural Product Number (NPN) regulatory system. Working closely with the organizers of NHNE, the TCS will secure the best possible location for the Canada Pavilion to ensure maximum exposure for TCS clients. 

We will also develop a side program for participating clients, including:

  • a brand promotion "Canada Day" event on the expo's main stage
  • a pitching session
  • possible business-to-business (B2B) programming on the margins of the trade show with key local partners from across China (to be confirmed)

While the TCS will subsidize part of the costs, participating clients will be expected to contribute between CAD 1,400 and CAD 2,400 towards booth rental (around 2 square metres per standard shelf space), booth design and construction, and side programming.
