CanExport hits impressive milestone: 500 Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises funded to reach new international markets

“I am proud of the valuable support CanExport is providing to small and medium-sized businesses across Canada. This program is part of Canada’s progressive trade strategy, helping innovative and export-oriented businesses succeed on the world stage and in turn creating good-quality jobs for our middle class.”

- Hon. Chrystia Freeland, P.C., M.P., Minister of International Trade

“To innovate, expand and create growth, our small and medium-sized businesses need to export. That’s why the Government of Canada is making sure the global market is available to them so their products and services can compete internationally and they create jobs here at home for Canada’s middle class and those working hard to join it.”

- Bardish Chagger, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of Small Business and Tourism

“Thanks to the significant support and commitment of the Government of Canada through the CanExport program and the Trade Commissioner Service, a crucial component of KORITE’s strategic corporate entry into the emerging China market has been accomplished for our gem-grade ammolite products. KORITE is grateful for this support and looks forward to a rewarding long-term relationship with the Government of Canada.”
