Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, State of Illinois Canada Office
1922
The State of Illinois Canada Office is under the auspices of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the State's primary economic development agency. https://dceo.illinois.gov/ We help Illinois food processing companies increase their export sales in Canada. In this respect, for example, we help them find food brokers and distributors in Canada to handle their products. Chicago, and the rest of Illinois, is one of the largest food processing clusters in North America. Further, we work with companies in Canada that are looking to expand to the United States, either through a sales office, distribution centre or manufacturing facility, and encourage them to look at Illinois as the site for that expansion. We also work to facilitate both leisure and business travel to Chicago and the rest of Illinois.
