TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA — Canada’s automotive ecosystem is set to gain a dedicated international B2B event platform with the launch of Autoteknik Canada. Organized by ExhibitIQ Media Inc., the inaugural annual trade show will take place from 9–11 June 2027 at The International Centre in Toronto, Canada.
The landmark event brings together global original equipment (OE) suppliers, aftermarket manufacturers, technology developers, distributors, repair professionals, dealership groups, fleet operators, and mobility decision-makers.
To strengthen its international reach, ExhibitIQ Media Inc. has partnered with global exhibition organizer MIE Group to co-locate the Electric Mobility Show (EVS) Canada alongside Autoteknik Canada and TLB Expo Canada. This collaboration bridges traditional automotive aftermarket services with electric vehicles (EVs), battery technologies, charging infrastructure, and clean transportation solutions.
Addressing Canada's Growing Aftermarket and EV Sectors
Canada’s automotive aftermarket represents a rapidly growing market, supported by 24.6 million vehicles on the road. Valued at USD 22.4 billion in 2024, the market is projected to reach USD 29.0 billion by 2032.
Highlighting the need for an integrated national trade event, Jasmeet Bakshi, Co-Founder of ExhibitIQ Media Inc., noted:
“As the industry continues to evolve, there is a growing need for an annual meeting point where the complete automotive aftermarket ecosystem can come together to exchange ideas, discover new solutions, and build stronger business relationships. Autoteknik Canada has been developed to bridge this gap by connecting global and domestic suppliers with Canadian buyers, distributors, repair professionals, and industry organisations to accelerate business opportunities and industry collaboration.”
Adding context on Toronto as the chosen host city, Syed Ali Akbar, Co-Founder of ExhibitIQ Media Inc., stated:
“Toronto’s position as Canada’s largest automotive hub makes it the natural home for Autoteknik and TLB Expo Canada. With its proximity to major manufacturers, distribution networks, dealers, and a strong community of automotive professionals, the city provides an ideal meeting point for the industry.”
Strategic International Partnership with MIE Group
MIE Group brings its established global Electric Mobility Show (EVS) brand to North America following successful editions across Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, and Morocco.
Addressing the partnership, David Wang, Chairman of MIE Group, remarked:
“Our partnership with ExhibitIQ Media Inc. marks an exciting milestone in expanding the Electric Mobility Show to Canada. By combining our global exhibition expertise with Canada's rapidly evolving automotive sector, we aim to create a world-class platform that connects industry leaders, drives innovation, and accelerates the future of sustainable mobility.”
