As part of its Global Strategy, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade (MEDT) has opened international marketing centres co-located in various Canadian High Commissions, Consulate Generals, Consulates, and the Embassies.

The general objective of each centre is to increase the awareness of the many business opportunities Ontario has to offer. This is achieved in a number of ways, including corporate calls to encourage investment, assistance to Ontario exporters at various events, and the establishment of contacts with local government and the media.

MEDT’s international marketing centres also lend support to other Ontario ministries with international interests, for example, in the areas of transportation, agriculture, culture and education.
