The Alberta Export Expansion Program (AEEP) helps Alberta SMEs overcome the challenges of exporting, such as the cost of travel, the need for market research, and the language barrier. The program also helps to connect Alberta SMEs with potential buyers from around the world. In 2021, the AEEP provided funding to over 200 Alberta SMEs, which resulted in an estimated $100 million in new exports and over 1,000 new jobs in Alberta.
The AEEP is a valuable resource for Alberta SMEs that are looking to expand their exports. The program provides funding and support that can help SMEs to overcome the challenges of exporting and to succeed in international markets. If you are an Alberta SME that is interested in exporting, I encourage you to learn more about the AEEP and to apply for funding. The program can help you to take your business to the next level.
