In the global economy, trade matters more than ever for growth and jobs. Exports account for over 40 percent of Canada's gross domestic product, and more than 3 million Canadian workers owe their jobs directly to foreign markets. There's no doubt that international trade is very important to Canada - and to Ontario, a province that accounts for over half of Canada's exports.
Businesses across the country must have access to the information and services needed to take advantage of international business opportunities. To ensure that they do, the Government of Canada has created Team Canada Inc (TCI). This partnership of federal, provincial and territorial governments helps Canadian companies succeed in world markets.
Through the Canada-Ontario Export Forum (COEF), Ontario's regional trade network, trade partners provide programs and services in a coordinated team approach to Ontario companies interested in international business development.
