​Global expansion is one of the biggest steps a company can make, but navigating legal requirements, regulatory hurdles and ongoing economic and geopolitical tensions means this journey has never been more complex.

​Toronto Takes on the World brings together local founders and who have done exactly that. You’ll hear how Toronto-based ventures approached international expansion, what worked, what did not and how you can get it right — the first time. 

​From leveraging the city’s diverse talent and globally-connected ecosystem to identifying the correct markets to expand into, this conversation focuses on the decisions behind scaling beyond Canada. Learn how Export Development Canada and the Trade Commissioner Service can support your growth.

​Join us after the discussion to connect with founders, experts and peers going global.
