Exporting for Growth: Getting Started with Your Export Plan

​Thinking about taking your business beyond Canada?

​Join us for the next free StrikeUP Connects webinar, presented in collaboration with Export Development Canada (EDC) and the Forum for International Trade Training (FITT).

​This session will include an introduction from Anne-Gabrielle Berthaud, Engagement Lead at EDC, who will provide an overview of EDC, including who they are, how they support Canadian businesses and how they help women-owned and women-led businesses explore growth in international markets.

​Lora Rigutto, CITP®, from FITT, will then introduce the fundamentals of exporting and help women entrepreneurs better understand how to approach international markets with more confidence. Whether you are just beginning to think about exporting or looking for practical guidance to support your next steps, this webinar will help you better understand what it takes to grow beyond Canada.

​We’ll explore the benefits of exporting, how to assess your readiness, what to consider before entering new markets and the key pieces involved in building an export plan.

​Participants will also be introduced to the Export Vision Board, a practical tool designed to help map out the core components of an export strategy. This resource will be available to support your planning beyond the session.

​The webinar will include an overview from EDC, practical guidance from FITT and time for live questions and answers.
