Are you ready to take your business global? Canadian companies must grow global to succeed in a global digital economy.
There’s only so much that can be done through phone calls, emails and video conferencing. Sometimes the difference between closing a company-changing piece of business and a missed opportunity is a face-to-face meeting to close the deal.
That’s where the Canadian Digital Media Network’s Outbound Soft-Landing Program comes in. The program offers qualified, mature startups and small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) exposure to business opportunities around the world.
It provides the opportunity to work from a partnered accelerator, incubator or co-working space to obtain regional support and resources to help open new markets, close international sales or connect with new partners. Through the program, Canadian companies looking to expand in foreign markets anywhere in the world can qualify for up to three months of residency in partner facilities equipped to support their growth, plus up to $4,000 for transportation and hotel costs.
Ideal candidates are generating revenue already and have goals of growing their customer base, securing investment, opening a satellite office, or developing distribution channels or secure partnerships.
Now in its sixth cohort, 73 participating companies have already been exposed to over $30 million in new opportunities and sales, investment, established key partnerships and connections.
