ITEXus - An Export Development Program for Ontario IT Companies

Your next great business opportunity may be right next door

Introducing ITEXus – IT Exporters to the U.S. Border States. Whether your IT company is new to exporting or looking to expand its export markets in the U.S., ITEXus is the cost-effective way to acquire the tools and contacts you need to succeed.

What is ITEXus?

ITEXus is a two-day export development program for Ontario IT companies.

Targeting the U.S. Border States, ITEXus introduces IT companies to potential buyers, manufacturers' representatives, distributors and value-added resellers (VARs). The program includes participation in a leading regional trade show and market briefings on banking, taxation and other key export related topics.

The proximity of the U.S. Border States makes it easy - and cost-effective - for your company to arrange follow-up meetings and pursue business opportunities with potential partners. By joining an ITEXus mission, your company will establish valuable contacts and build corporate profile in important U.S. regional markets, while gaining the experience and commercial knowledge that will ensure successful access to the world's largest IT market.

Why should my company participate?

ITEXus provides multiple benefits to your company:

  • Exhibit space at the trade show
  • Market briefings by local IT decision-makers and sector experts to help identify export opportunities
  • Introduction of your company to the local IT community at the Ontario business reception
  • Inclusion of your company profile in the ITEXus mission directory distributed to local business contacts
  • A market report and the list of attendees at the Ontario business reception

How successful is ITEXus?

Many export-ready Ontario IT companies have benefited from ITEXus:
