Canada is one of the world’s most stable and innovative economies, offering a high-growth landscape for Italian enterprises. At ICCO Canada, we act as the premier bridge for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), providing Italian businesses with a sophisticated platform to expand, innovate, and thrive in southern Ontario.
With Government of Canada support, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), ICCO Canada launched a new initiative aimed at fostering business development, driving economic growth, and attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to Canada.
The Business Development Program will provide essential support to businesses at various stages of their entrepreneurial journey, strengthening Canada’s global economic position.
The Business Development Program is designed to offer specialized support to Italy-based companies seeking to enter or expand in the Canadian market. It provides businesses with the tools, guidance, and mentorship required to navigate Canada’s regulatory landscape, build local partnerships, and tailor their strategies to the Canadian market—offering solutions for every phase of business development.
Whether you’re an established business, expanding an existing project, or just beginning to explore the market, we offer the resources and guidance necessary for success:
