The Community Export Development Program (CED) works with federal, provincial and municipal partners and provincial stakeholders in building linkages at the community level, promoting the International Trade and Marketing Division's export programs and services.
CED programs assist economic development organizations in Ontario with their initiatives to encourage local companies to expand internationally. Exporter Workshops, First Steps in Exporting seminars and conferences introduce new and experienced exporters to government and other resources, and provide practical insights into the business of exporting.
