More from our graduates:
“Through the TAP program, we were introduced to programs and services available to us which has been significant for our new business. Thank you for the work from the STEP team for helping with our business growth.”
“As a recent graduate of the Trade Accelerator Program (TAP) Canada, the program definitely allowed us to refine our business focus. A key factor for our organization was the guidance and direction received through the program as well the opportunity to get some crucial questions answered. Our participation in the program is going to pay dividends as we expand our business reach into European markets.”
“Growing a business requires continual refinement. The TAP process has been instrumental in our continual development of items like our value preposition. I anticipate that we will put much of what we learn to work right away, whether it manifests itself in export opportunities or not.”
