Canada is Maine’s largest trade and investment partner.
Maine International Trade Center (MITC) leads focused trade missions to Canada, provides country-specific trade education workshop, and assists Maine companies through one-on-one counseling for market entry strategy, answers to technical assistance questions, and professional connections with public and private sector entities in Canada to ease entry into the Canadian market for Maine companies.
Two-way trade between Maine and Canada tops $4.2 billion per year
Maine exports $1.2 billion in goods to Canada annually
72 Canadian-owned businesses employ 7,277 Maine workers
Three good reasons for all Maine companies to consider the Canadian market:
“Wayside Publishing was honored to be included in the MITC trade mission to the Greater Toronto Area. The Canadian education market is exciting for a language company. We hope to not only earn Canadian educators’ business, but to incorporate them into the feedback ecosystem that fuels the future of Wayside learner experiences in all markets. The MITC trade mission was a matchless opportunity to begin building our Canadian network.”
