This project is supported by the Government of Canada and the four Atlantic Provinces through the Atlantic Trade, Investment, and Growth Agreement.
The Market Entry Development Program (MEDP) assists exporters from Atlantic Canada in establishing an online presence in Europe or Asia, connecting them with influencers and decision-makers to start building a sales pipeline, without large-scale investment.
“I am thrilled that as a result of the connections made via the MEDP program (UK based consultant – OCO Global), Howell Ventures is establishing a great partnership and now developing a launch strategy to get into an established distribution vendor network.” – Cody Howell, President, Howell Ventures Ltd
