About
The International Business Opportunities Centre (IBOC) provides
a matching service - connecting foreign buyers with Canadian
companies. The Centre works in partnership with Canada's trade
commissioners who are located around the world in Canada's embassies,
high commissions and consulates.
When one of Canada's trade officers identifies a business
opportunity, they turn to the International Business Opportunities
Centre for help. The team of specialists at the Centre immediately
goes to work to search out and contact potential Canadian
exporters.
The Centre provides timely, relevant and targeted business
leads from the desks of foreign buyers to the doorsteps of Canadian
companies.
Many of these business leads translate into export sales for
Canadian companies - or potential future deals, new partners, new
suppliers and even developing new products and services that will
meet the needs of the foreign buyer.
For committed exporters this is an ideal way to tap into new
markets - with very little effort.
Making the Match
The Centre's officers are sourcing experts. They search a
variety of databases including Virtual Trade Commissioner (VTC),
formerly known as WIN Exports and Canadian Company Capabilities
(Strategis) looking for the right products or services requested by
foreign buyers. Our officers also search the vast resources on the
Internet and tap into an impressive Canada-wide network of industry
sector experts. They ensure that all possible sources of Canadian
company information have been thoroughly reviewed for potential
matches.
Registration is Key
Position your company to receive international business leads by
registering in both the VTC and Canadian Company Capabilities (Strategis)
databases. Registration with these two databases is easy to do and free.
