Grow your business here and abroad

Selling your products and services outside of Ontario and Canada is an excellent way to grow your business.

Virtual programs, support and services

Recent events have brought major changes to how the world does business. As we shift towards more e-commerce and digital trade shows, Ontario’s export readiness and support programs and services are changing too.

The Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade helps Ontario companies expand their business within Canada and globally. The Digital Export Market Development Initiative (DEMDI) helps new and existing exporters in Ontario use digital tools to continue to create business partnerships and opportunities. We also have export specialists living and working in important international markets who can help arrange local business connections for Ontario companies.
