EDC Investments
Supporting the growth of Canadian companies
We provide equity capital solutions to established Canadian companies that want to accelerate their international growth. We take a minority equity position—up to 25% ownership—and don’t seek control positions. Our goal is to provide flexible investment solutions over the long term.
We invest across a broad range of business sectors including priority sectors of cleantech and inclusive trade.
Our program is focused on providing growth capital to privately held Canadian companies with an established business model, commercial revenues and an international growth strategy. Outside of our investment parameters are companies that are at a pre-revenue or seed stage; that are distressed or publicly traded; those whose primary focus is real estate investment, direct resource extraction or pharmaceutical development; or companies with a carbon-intensive business model.
We deliver:
We’re a trusted partner for Canadian companies. As a strategic investor, we’re well-aligned with management, shareholders and other stakeholders. Our goal is to help your business succeed—we measure our success by your success.
EDC is focused on helping Canadian companies increase their share of international business opportunities. We provide specialized international trade solutions to help minimize the risks of doing business in global markets.
If you’re an existing customer, contact your EDC relationship manager to discuss your growth capital plans.
