In an effort to build Ontario’s export capabilities the provincial government is assisting energy companies to hone their products and services for international markets.
The Trade Accelerator Program (TAP) is offering both professional support for energy companies developing their export businesses, and a set of energy industry contact-building opportunities in the near future. The Ministry is focused on developing and supporting ways to promote Ontario’s energy expertise abroad. As part of this initiative, the Toronto Region Board of Trade is offering companies the opportunity to participate in its Trade Accelerator Program (TAP) at no cost – waiving its usual fee of $2,500.
Through a two-day workshop and 90 days of mentoring, the program provides what it describes as “unmatched access to Canada’s top exporting advisors, resources and contacts to help companies surpass the challenges preventing them from successfully executing global expansion efforts.” The Ministry and TAP are seeking 25 companies to participate in an energy company-focused TAP program on June 6-7, 2017 in downtown Toronto. To be clear, the TAP program is intended to support the export of products and services from energy companies, more than cross border flows of electricity.
Ministry staff encourage all interested companies, regardless of size, to apply.
