The answer is simple: Because Team Canada Atlantic works.
It works for you.
The importance of international trade to the long-term prosperity of commercial enterprises is undeniable. Research indicates that export-oriented companies in Atlantic Canada are almost three times as likely to survive and thrive than are their domestically bound counterparts.
The fact is that enhanced trade with the rest of world breeds management skills, market intelligence, innovation, financial strength, and corporate stability into Atlantic Canadian companies.
That's good for you, and it's good for the region's business climate, where $1 billion in new exports creates more than 11,000 good and lasting jobs.
How well does Team Canada Atlantic work?
Consider the facts: Since 1999, fourteen trade missions to the United States have put several hundred small and medium-sized businesses from Atlantic Canada face-to-face with American buyers, agents, distributors, and strategic partners.
Now consider the results: Approximately $45.71 million in sales generated for Team Canada Atlantic participants.
The real question is not "Why participate?", but rather "How can you afford not to?"
