Tailor-made solutions
We’ve moved from being product-driven to being customer-needs driven, tailoring our offerings to the unique needs of customers in each of the micro and small, medium-sized and large segments.
It’s with medium-sized companies that we see the greatest opportunity to catalyze Canada’s trade performance. So we created a team dedicated to serving these companies by actively engaging with them and developing a comprehensive picture of their needs.
Building value through collaboration
EDC is part of a much larger trade ecosystem that works together to help Canadian companies achieve their international business goals—sharing market intelligence, feedback and connections to boost companies’ competitiveness and advance Canadian trade:
- Federal partners create a coordinated web of support to Canadian companies
- Financial institutions broaden our reach
- Strategic alliances connect us to business communities
- ESG partnerships are key to overcoming the most significant challenges of our time
Learn about our 2021 progress in each of these four areas.
