The one website all Canadian SMEs need to know to get new business abroad

A new website called Enterprise Canada Network (ECN) is about to make the life of small- to medium-sized companies (SMEs) looking for an easy way to get new contracts abroad a whole lot easier.

The website works by matching profiles of selling companies (who post what kind of services and products they have expertise) and buying companies (who post what kind of services and products they are looking for).

There are currently more than 30,000 opportunity profiles posted through the European Commission’s Enterprise Europe Network, which the ECN links to.

ECN also provides users with several convenient tools that allow them to easily find all publicly funded trade support and promotion programs from across Canada...
