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!

Does your organization dream of creating more inclusive, accessible spaces but needs funding to bring it to life?

The government just opened applications for the EASE Grant (Enhancing Access to Spaces for Everyone) offering up to $60,000 to help municipalities, nonprofits, and Indigenous governing bodies make public spaces more accessible for older adults and people with disabilities.

This is more than a grant...

👉 It’s a chance to install mobility mats at beaches,
👉 Build accessible washrooms in parks,
👉 Or create charging stations for mobility devices.

It’s about removing barriers so everyone can participate in community life fully, freely, and with dignity.

🗓️ Applications are open until August 14, 2025
📍 Apply via Ontario.ca/GetFunding

Our team writes strong, strategic grant applications that turn great ideas into funded projects.

Reach out if you’re ready to make your community more accessible and we’ll help you bring it to life (and get it funded).
