What is eXPORT?
eXPORT is a new initiative from ACOA that can be your point of access to a wealth of export marketing and e-business experience. As an eXPORT participant, you will choose from a diverse roster of expert mentoring teams designed to provide viable strategic planning advice. The team you select will customize their services to your business, your goals, and your vision. You will benefit from forty hours of valuable one-on-one consulting in e-business and exporting over a five-month period.

Companies must have been in business for at least two years, be in a non-retail or primary industry, and each company must be willing to commit a minimum of one hour of senior management time for every hour of consulting time provided.
