Up Close with Export Success

Ray Mills, President of KUDU Industries, is the face of just one of thousands of Canadian companies thriving from exporting and investing abroad. KUDU was named Exporter of the Year, and also won the Oil & Gas Manufacturing Export Award, presented by EDC at the recent Alberta Export Awards ceremony in Edmonton (albertaexportawards.ca). It’s one of many similar programs across Canada that EDC supports, run by industry association partners like CME, to celebrate export success and inspire more firms to grow globally. Check out the export award program in your province if you think you have what it takes to be an export winner too!






Built for Collaboration

Welcome to EDC’s new leased head office in downtown Ottawa, unifying some 1,100 employees from two nearby buildings. The 150 Slater Street tower has been registered for Gold certification in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a rating system for construction projects
that demonstrate environmental responsibility and energy efficiency. The building also incorporates interior design and the latest technology to support collaboration between employees, and with our customers. Outside Ottawa, EDC has some 130 employees placed in 16 regional offices across Canada and 16 locations in or near the world’s key emerging markets – serving Canadians wherever they do business.







Where Silicon Valley Meets Canada

EDC recently partnered with C100, a select group of Canadian high-tech entrepreneurs mainly based in California’s Silicon Valley who are using their collective expertise to help grow a new generation of successful Canadian-led technology companies. Through this partnership, EDC will participate in the C100 mentorship program and other events to increase our support and understanding of the ICT community, its financial needs and the Canadian venture capital industry.
