How we help Canadians

Provide solutions and expertise

We were created over 75 years ago by the Government of Canada and we have facilitated trillions in exports and foreign business. Our programs and services are designed to help Canadians succeed on the international stage.

Access government procurement decision-makers

We help validate your sales opportunity, then connect your company to senior government officials and procurement decision-makers. Our memoranda of understanding (MOU) with foreign governments can make exporting from Canada easier.

Speed up sales 

We accelerate international sales through sole-source, government to government (G2G) contracts that eliminate the time and costs typically associated with a competitive procurement process.

Reduce payment risk 

All payments and cash flows are executed through us, reducing political and business risks during the sale as well as payment risks during the contract. 

Provide a competitive advantage

Our contracting approach is backed by the Government of Canada, assuring your foreign buyer that the contract will be delivered according to the agreed terms and conditions — guaranteed. With the support and advocacy of the Canadian government behind your proposal, you gain credibility with your government buyer and stand out from your competitors.

Minimize political and business risk

When you work with us, we are with you every step of the way — from initial customer meetings to negotiations and through the entire life of the contract.

Our experience structuring and managing complex international contracts also ensures you have a partner who can help resolve any contracting issues, and can shield you from potential unethical business practices such as bribery and corruption.
