Trade Accelerator Program (Information Session)

TAP Information Session Overview:

The World Trade Centre Toronto in partnership with the City of Hamilton, are pleased to host a Trade Accelerator Program (TAP) beginning on Nov 24th, 2021.

This innovative and award-winning program is specifically designed to help small to medium-sized enterprises by expanding their business internationally.

Alana Howard, Founder & CEO of Cosmopolitan Academy: “The most exciting thing about TAP was definitely the push to think bigger and to act quicker. I really feel that TAP has benefited the whole company. We’ve actually already created another job and our revenue has already increased by opening to the US market. I was thinking way too small prior to TAP so, I believe there are no limits at this point after taking the program!”

We are hosting a 45-minute TAP Information Session on November 17th, at 9:00 AM, to tell you more about the program and its benefits. Register below to join us!
