Optilume was one of 19 Canadian companies that participated in the infrastucture trade mission Minister Fast led to Brazil from June 26 to 30, 2011. Such trade missions showcase Canada’s strengths and capabilities in target sectors and promote them in foreign markets while enhancing Canada’s profile and visibility on the international stage.
