Defence and security
Canada’s export-intensive defence and security sector is of critical importance to the country. It contributes to its economic growth, to its sovereignty, and to the well-being of Canadians from coast to coast. Its world-class and innovative products require access to extensive and complex supply chains that often span across multiple jurisdictions.
Our trade commissioners around the world and at Regional Offices across Canada provide Canadian clients ready to export with accurate market intelligence, access to key contacts as well as international leads and opportunities. Our global network works hand-in-hand with other government partners, regional economic development agencies and industry associations, and leaves no stone unturned to help position its clients for success abroad.
Ready to do business internationally? Our trade commissioners around the world can support Canadian companies with market intelligence, identify new business opportunities, and find qualified contacts that will help them succeed in foreign markets.
