Helping you Grow and Trade 

Too often businesses under-leverage opportunities provided by Canada’s global network of trade agreements. Only 5% of export-viable companies are trading globally. Even less are ready to scale-up their business to develop their growth capacity.  

Through WTC-T, the Board provides international trade services and expertise through comprehensive research, trade education and strategy building workshops, as well as outbound trade missions. 

Through workshop-based sessions and curated programs, your company will gain unparalleled access to industry and government experts who impart high-value, practical guidance.  

Whether you’re looking to take your business to new markets, interested in going abroad on a trade mission, or ready to build a blueprint to scale-up capacity, the WTC-T is your first stop.
