Sales PWR Hour: Unlocking the Trade Commissioner Service for Global Growth
Join the TCS to hear an update on tariffs and expanding globally!
For over 130 years, the Trade Commissioner Service (TCS), part of Global Affairs Canada, has supported Canadian businesses in expanding and thriving internationally. We offer free, expert trade advice to companies of all sizes and from every region of Canada, helping them access new global markets and navigate international business development with confidence. Our services include market assessment, qualified contacts, funding and accelerator programs, on-the-ground support, and special programs at trade events worldwide.
Canadian companies that partnered with the TCS have achieved, on average, 20.1% higher export values and accessed 20.4% more international markets than their peers.
Zinnia Jamshed and Aude Véronneau are experienced Trade Commissioners based in Toronto, specializing in Ontario’s Life Sciences sector. They support both new exporters and seasoned companies exploring new markets, helping refine market-entry strategies and guiding businesses through TCS programs and networks. As key points of contact, they connect Ontario-based companies to global opportunities and serve as a reference for the broader TCS network seeking insights and partnerships within Ontario’s vibrant Life Sciences ecosystem.
In this presentation, we will take you through the Trade Commissioner Service’s many services and programs, how they can benefit Life Sciences innovators, and, crucially, how you can access and leverage them.
