Export from a central location with compelling cost advantages
Exporters working in Manitoba or partnering with Manitoba companies enjoy safe, reliable transportation networks from a central location with access to all Canadian Free Trade Agreements (15 with 51 different countries). Manitoba is centrally located in North America with open borders in a conflict-free environment, providing exporters with a direct connection to U.S. markets. Manitoba is also home to the continent's largest in-land trimodal port and have access to three class 1 railways, a 24-hour cargo airport and hundreds of trucking companies.
Multiple industries thrive in our province. Our strongest industries include agribusiness, advanced manufacturing, aerospace, mining, transportation and distribution, life sciences and biotechnology, creative industries and many others. They benefit from competitive cost advantages including 99 per cent renewable power available at some of the lowest rates in North America.
Numerous advanced manufacturers call our province home because of its stable economy and highly-skilled workforce. Manitoba has four universities, three public colleges and a variety of vocational learning centres.
The Manitoba government is providing $500,000 to help Manitoba companies pursue new opportunities to export and diversify markets for their products, Economic Development, Investment and Trade Minister Jeff Wharton announced today.

Eligible costs that can be reimbursed under export support programming include airfare and accommodations for national and international trade shows, interpreter services, relevant trade preparedness training, and market research.
One of the primary ways to grow our economy is to have more Manitoba companies exporting their products and services abroad,” said Wharton. “This funding is aimed at bringing our businesses closer to potential new clients and promoting our province as a preferred destination for trade and investment
