Join us here Friday, November 19 at 2:15 p.m. for the annual BC Export Awards presented by Business in Vancouver. Twelve companies are finalists in four categories (Manufactured Products, Advanced Technology, Emerging Exporter and Professional Services) for the awards. One of those winners will also be declared Exporter of the Year. The leadership award this year is bestowed on Dr. Carl Hansen, CEO of AbCellera, for its work in the pandemic. Three onstage conversations will take place with Hansen, with Minister of State for Trade George Chow, and with Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation Ravi Kahlon. The event is sponsored by Export Development Canada and the BC Government.
