Export Development Canada (EDC) is a financial Crown corporation dedicated to helping Canadian companies of all sizes succeed on the world stage. As international risk experts, we equip Canadian companies with the tools they need – the trade knowledge, financing solutions, equity, insurance, and connections – to grow their business with confidence.
In March 2020, the Government of Canada temporarily expanded EDC’s mandate to help non-exporting Canadian companies face the financial challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Working with our federal partners and financial institutions across Canada, we’ve adjusted our focus to support and protect Canadian businesses—whether they sell internationally or within Canada—during this global health crisis.
