If global growth is part of your 2026 strategy, this is worth your attention.
The Government of Canada’s CanExport SMEs program provides up to $50,000 in funding to help Canadian businesses enter new international markets.
The program covers up to 50% of eligible expenses related to:
📍 Market research and feasibility studies
📍 Trade shows and international missions
📍 Travel for partnership and distributor development
📍 Translation and localization
📍 Export marketing and adaptation
📍 IP strategy and regulatory advisry support
You may qualify if your business:
⭐ Is a for-profit Canadian corporation, LLP, or cooperative
⭐ Has 3 to 500 employees
⭐ Generates $300K to $100M in annual revenue
⭐ Is entering a new international market where you have little or no sales
⭐ Can demonstrate meaningful economic benefit to Canada
This is competitive funding. Strong applications are rooted in a clear export strategy, defined outcomes, and realistic market validation plans.
At Positivist Group, we support businesses by strengthening the strategy first, then building the application around it. Funding should accelerate growth, not distract from it.
If international expansion is on your roadmap, send me a message and we’ll determine if this is a fit.
Let’s build Canadian companies that compete globally!
