We continue to strive to meet the needs of Canadian businesses in this rapidly changing business environment. To do this, we must better understand your evolving business challenges and what’s driving your international success.

So, we’ve developed an online community for you to share your insights and we’d like to invite you to join us.

Our Vice-President and Chief Economist, Peter Hall, thanks current panel members for their perceptive observations, and comments.

What do you get?

As a member of the EDC Research Panel, you will have primary access to research results from the surveys conducted in the panel. For example, here is a report (PDF) from one of our recent surveys about how Canadian exporters are adapting to a strong Canadian dollar.

Members of the panel also receive other trade-related intelligence such as white papers, publications and invitations to business events.

How much time will it take?

You will receive a short online survey approximately every two months which should take no more than five minutes of your time.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for your insights to help us:

• gauge trends, such as the impacts of currency fluctuations, protectionism, border delays;
• track business challenges;
• develop ways to help Canadian businesses succeed in the global marketplace.
