Who are B.C.’s export leaders today?

Each year, Business in Vancouver’s BC Export Awards help bring these companies into focus, starting with nominations from people who know their work best.

Award categories span across technology and innovation, clean technology, consumer and manufactured products, women-led exporters and more, culminating in the prestigious Exporter of the Year award.

Selected exporters are recognized through BIV’s coverage and celebrated alongside B.C.’s business and trade community at the awards luncheon in January 2027.
