With Government of Canada support, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), ICCO Canada launched a new initiative aimed at fostering business development, driving economic growth, and attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to Canada. The Business Development Program will provide essential support to businesses at various stages of their entrepreneurial journey, strengthening Canada’s global economic position.
The Business Development Program is designed to offer specialized support to Italy-based companies seeking to enter or expand in the Canadian market. It provides businesses with the tools, guidance, and mentorship required to navigate Canada’s regulatory landscape, build local partnerships, and tailor their strategies to the Canadian market—offering solutions for every phase of business development.
Whether you’re an established business, expanding an existing project, or just beginning to explore the market, we offer the resources and guidance necessary for success:
- For established companies: we provide intensive mentorship focusing on market analysis, regulatory guidance, and strategic planning. Our expert consultants will help you navigate the Canadian business landscape, identify key stakeholders, and develop tailored market entry strategies.
- For companies looking to expand ongoing projects: we offer periodic consultations, networking opportunities, and trade show introductions. We help optimize operations and ensure that your project goals align with Canadian market conditions, fostering growth and collaboration.
- For early-stage companies: we offer valuable market research, feasibility studies, and regulatory assistance. We help identify potential local partners, test your market entry strategies, and provide mentorship on adapting your products or services to meet Canadian preferences.
