10 Canadian technology companies carry out mission to Mexico

A total of 10 technology companies will participate in the launch of the first mission of the “Canadian Technology Accelerator” (CTA) program to Mexico, focused on the Smart Cities sector.

The participants have technologies and solutions in different fields of the Smart Cities sector, such as urban mobility, lights, smart buildings, citizen participation, security and emergency services (including in some cases health issues and solutions related to Covid-19) and clean technologies, among others.

The CTA is a global business development program of the Service and Trade Delegates of the Ministry of Global Affairs of Canada.

Established in 2009, the CTA program supports the international scaling of companies with high growth potential in the cleantech, health sciences, and information and communication technology sectors.

To date, the program has had more than 574 participants, has raised $ 646 million in capital, generated $ 238 million in revenue, and through the CTA, 1,128 strategic alliances and 2,529 new jobs have been created.

10 weeks

Coordinated by the Embassy of Canada in Mexico, the program allows Canadian companies and entrepreneurs to access detailed market “intelligence” information, strategic advice, and privileged access to key contacts in Mexico’s IT ecosystem.

The 10-week virtual program is aimed at companies actively seeking to open and accelerate their entry into the Mexican market through “tailored” webinars, mentoring, networking opportunities, and meetings with potential buyers, potential strategic partners, and local distributors across the country. .

The mentoring will be provided by an innovation and acceleration specialist, equipping participating technology companies with the necessary advice to present their technologies effectively to Mexican counterparts.

«We are very happy and proud to start the first CTA mission in Mexico,» said Jean-Dominique Ieraci, Chief of the Commercial Section of the Canadian Embassy in Mexico.
