The CDMN Soft Landing program is accepting applications from qualified Canadian companies from Monday, Feb. 2 until Friday, Feb. 13. The program provides support to Canadian small- to medium-sized enterprises entering into a new market for up to three months.
Companies benefit from key contact introductions, working space and regional support to help open new markets, close international sales or connect with new partners. The program also provides up to $4,000 in travel support, and covers the cost associated with working at a co-working space in the international market. Travel will occur between Mar. 3 and Jun. 15, 2015.
Launched in 2012, the high demand and success of the program has resulted in 144 companies landing in 25 foreign markets. More than $18 million in investment opportunities has been identified and $30 million in new revenue generated as result of the program.
Companies interested in a soft landing may inquire through their local CDMN hub or partner.
