Canada is the United States’ largest trading partner and closest ally. It is a market of 35 million consumers and a highly attractive destination for foreign direct investment with competitive business and regulatory advantages. Over 500,000 Canadians visit Hawaii each year, the state’s second largest international tourism market. Join us for a presentation on targeting the Canadian market and best practices for doing business there. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with local exporters sharing their experience doing business in Canada.
This session is part of Hawaii’s State Trade Expansion Program, also known as HiSTEP, designed to assist small businesses in Hawaii with growing their export business in markets around the world.
The HiSTEP program has three key components:
- Export Readiness Program – training and mentoring
- Company Assistance – grant awards up to $15,000 (Note: All funds have been awarded for 2017)
- Hawaii Pavilions – support at major trade shows
