Trade & Export Services

Economic Development Workshops

As experts of the Canadian market and the Canada-U.S.-Europe economic relations, we have collaborated with hundreds of subnational trade agencies in the last 20 years. We are aware that international trade managers cover large and diverse territories while helping businesses in multiple industries. At the same time, they must be aware of international opportunities for local exporters, often through the support of international contractors and consultants.

Our team of senior consultants can train your international trade managers to become more efficient and have the right tools to leverage their network of international contractors. We also offer market presentations on foreign sectors of economic activity to assist your region’s exporters in understanding regulations, market trends, and existing business opportunities.

We develop:

  • International trade managers' training programs

  • Best practices seminars on agency consultant relationships

  • Canada market overview and opportunities conferences

Given CIDEP’s experience in collaborating with international economic development agencies, we have been elected a strategic partner of the State International Development Organizations (SIDO). Each year, we train trade managers from all U.S. states to help them implement internal best practices and make the most of their networks of international subcontractors.

Our team is trained to provide presentations for your exporters, containing critical and actionable market opportunities & information. The content of these presentations outlines the best industries and segments of growth in the Canadian market. Our goal is to keep your exporters updated regarding promising sub-sectors within Canadian target industries (e.g., for Food products, we are aware that healthy snacks are a growing segment in Canada).

Given the nature of your exporters as well as their industry strengths, we can provide specific information regarding Canadian market opportunities in the following sectors:

  • Life Sciences & Healthcare

  • Outdoor & Recreational Equipment

  • Advanced Manufacturing, including: Medical Devices, Auto, Aero, Machinery

  • IT: Applied to sectors, AI, Digitalization of Supply Chain
