2 A WORD FROM YOUR TRADE COMMISSIONER Each day, companies, organizations and governments from around the world turn to Canada as their trusted business partner. With a dynamic marketplace supported by a competitive and innovative economy, Canada is world renowned for its excellence in many industry sectors. Although COVID-19 has changed the way businesses operate around the world, Canada’s most capable and well-equipped companies are ready to do business with you. In the midst of disruptions to the global economy and supply chains caused by COVID-19, Canadian companies are mobilized to find solutions to address new challenges and unprecedented demand for supplies, ranging from medical diagnostics and personal protective equipment to pharmaceuticals and digital health solutions. Companies rapidly scaled up production or retooled their manufacturing lines to develop products made in Canada to help fight against COVID-19. Now, these companies have the capacity to export their products and services. The Canadian Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) is the strategic link to finding the right Canadian partners to match your specific requirements for high-quality products, services or technologies. Let our team of professionals connect you to the organizations best suited to meet your needs.
