prospecting and intelligence
depending on your context, it could be 'corporate prospecting and intelligence', 'prospecting and competitive intelligence', 'prospecting and market intelligence' or some different combination of the above.
I think prospecting speaks for itself, and 'veille' is typically some sort of 'intelligence' or data gathered from monitoring the competition, market, etc.
I would not translate 'mission' unless you somehow needed to work in 'assignment'; normally 'going to Canada for corporate prospecting and intelligence' (as an example) should fit the bill.
