Export Market Access (EMA), the OCC grant program which assists Ontario small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with an export mandate to access foreign export markets gets an additional $1.6 million from the federal government. This means more funds are available for Ontario firms to export their products but also create new jobs in the province. This announcement came from the Honourable Gary Goodyear, Minister of State responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).
EMA began in July 2008 to assist Ontario’s SMEs to access and expand their growth in new foreign markets. So far, over 200 companies have benefitted from the program with about $1.7 million invested.
So what does this mean for you and your business? Well, check out the EMA website, contact EMA staff to see how you can take advantage of this program.
