New trade agreements and a competitive Canadian dollar make it an ideal time to extend your company's reach through the export of goods and services.

World Trade Centre Vancouver has recently launched Canada's Trade Accelerator Program, an initiative that has been successfully operated by the Toronto Regional Board of Trade since 2015. 

Participating organizations have experienced an average international sales growth of 70% within one of the program, penetrated new markets, and grown their workforce to meet increased global demand.

  • Learn about international best practices

TAP is the rocket fuel that BC companies need to power beyond Canada's borders. The sessions effectively presented export-focused-concepts in the context of how to take action … immediately. Two words: Truly remarkable.

The Trade Accelerator Program puts fuel on the fire of entrepreneurship. The things you learn are not "nice-to-do's" they are "must-do's". I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their export game to the next level.
