Funding and support

Moving from a bricks and mortar to a digital first model can be daunting, but you don't need to do it alone. You can hire experts to help and take advantage of government programs to get started. Our CanExport service for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises offers up to $50,000 to help with:

  • breaking into international markets
  • covering some costs related to digital adoption such as adaptation and translation of marketing tools
  • search engine optimization
  • advice from legal and business experts
  • intellectual property protection

If you have a high-potential startup or scale-up company with an existing technology, product or service, Canadian Technology Accelerators (CTA) can support your international business growth in: 

  • North America
  • Asia
  • Europe 

CTA's give your business a soft landing and introductions to potential investors, partners and customers.

The Business Development Bank of Canada offers loans for businesses to purchase or upgrade their information and communications technology. This includes hardware, software and related advisory services.
