About this event
All the information you need to start, grow and manage your own small business in Canada.Organized by New Horizons Media Inc., the Canadian Immigrant Women’s Association, Calgary Catholic Immigration Society, and Calgary Public Library, the Immigrant Business Expo - Calgary (IBE) is a premier one-day event for newcomer and refugee business owners. The expo features interactive workshops, an expert panel discussion, a keynote address, a bustling marketplace, and a dedicated small business clinic.While Canada has a rich history of immigrant entrepreneurship, newcomers often face distinct challenges when starting and scaling a business. The IBE bridges this gap by directly connecting attendees with essential government-funded and community resources tailored to help launch and expand small businesses in Canada.This year’s theme, The Future of Small Business: AI, Automation, and Digital Innovation, explores how emerging technologies, practical strategies, and strong community partnerships can help entrepreneurs launch, grow, and future-proof their ventures in an increasingly competitive marketplace.Date: October 3, 2026Time: 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.Venue: Calgary Central Library, 800 3 St SE
