Trade and export are a strong force behind Mantioba's economy, and the Provincial government is looking to grow that force.
The Manitoba government announced a $500,000 boost in export support programming for small and medium-sized Manitoba companies looking to explore, initiate, or expand their export activities into new markets.
Economic Development, Investment, Trade and Natural Resources Minister Jamie Moses announced this today, helping local businesses in two parts:
First, The Export Development Program reimburses Manitoba companies participating in a tradeshow or mission outside the province.
Secondly, The Incoming Buyer Program provides reimbursement to local companies that invite qualified international buyers to the province to purchase Manitoba products.
The program has seen strong uptake from Manitoba companies, highlighting the importance of having dedicated provincial export support programming.
As of March, programming has supported 45 companies to attend 74 national and international events, trade shows, missions and conventions to form valuable partnerships
