Market Entry Development Program (MEDP)

The Market Entry Development Program (MEDP) helps Atlantic Canadian companies with export-ready products or services expedite entry into—or scale exports within—European and Indo-Pacific markets. The program is offered as either a 10-day or 20-day option, both designed to help companies overcome barriers and mitigate risks through tailored one-on-one support, market research, business connections, and more.

The MEDP also supports supply chain analysis, with funding available to cover up to 90% of the cost of working with global business consultants to rethink, diversify, or strengthen your supply chain. Whether these regions are on your radar or just an idea, the program provides the tools and support you need to expand confidently.

To be considered for the MEDP Program, companies must be registered and headquartered in Atlantic Canada, be export-ready with viable opportunities to sell outside of Canada, demonstrate a commitment to executing an export-focused growth strategy, and have the financial capacity to develop and implement that strategy.

This project is supported by the Government of Canada and the four Atlantic Provinces through the Atlantic Trade, Investment, and Growth Agreement.
