Canada’s Trade Accelerator Program (TAP) is an innovative and dynamic program aimed at helping Halifax's enterprises overcome barriers to exporting. The Halifax Chamber of Commerce is pleased to offer TAP Canada in Halifax, a program that is quickly gaining momentum across Canada, and a reputation of achieving real results, fast.
The Trade Accelerator Program (TAP Canada) is an innovative, effective and comprehensive four-day program held over six weeks, helping Canada’s SMEs strategically scale-up and overcome barriers to exporting. Through TAP Canada, Canadian SMEs access a wide range of resources, tools, and training to be successful in the global environment. Participating companies will establish key contacts, access targeted expertise in a broad range of fields from top industry experts and formalize.
The uniqueness and success of TAP Canada reside in its dynamic hands-on approach to training companies, the direct involvement of top experts from the private and public sectors, the aggressive efforts to avoid the traditional academic classroom style of teaching business development and the practical and highly personalized coaching provided to each participating company.
