If global growth is part of your 2026 strategy, this is worth your attention.

The Government of Canadaโ€™s CanExport SMEs program provides up to $50,000 in funding to help Canadian businesses enter new international markets.

The program covers up to 50% of eligible expenses related to:

๐Ÿ“ Market research and feasibility studies
๐Ÿ“ Trade shows and international missions
๐Ÿ“ Travel for partnership and distributor development
๐Ÿ“ Translation and localization
๐Ÿ“ Export marketing and adaptation
๐Ÿ“ IP strategy and regulatory advisry support

You may qualify if your business:

โญ Is a for-profit Canadian corporation, LLP, or cooperative
โญ Has 3 to 500 employees
โญ Generates $300K to $100M in annual revenue
โญ Is entering a new international market where you have little or no sales
โญ Can demonstrate meaningful economic benefit to Canada

This is competitive funding. Strong applications are rooted in a clear export strategy, defined outcomes, and realistic market validation plans.

At Positivist Group, we support businesses by strengthening the strategy first, then building the application around it. Funding should accelerate growth, not distract from it.

If international expansion is on your roadmap, send me a message and weโ€™ll determine if this is a fit.

Letโ€™s build Canadian companies that compete globally!
