Going Global, Staying Local is the province's partnership strategy for export development. It offers a focused approach to export development that will help more Nova Scotia companies realize their potential. It is a strategy focused on creating and maintaining a supportive environment to strengthen and grow trade in our province.
The strategy outlines a three-year commitment by government to achieve four strategic objectives:
increase awareness of the important role trade plays in fostering prosperity
create and maintain an environment to support export growth
allocate resources so companies receive the support they need to export successfully
support service exports to develop this potentially strong area of exporting.
The goal of this strategy is to help create a vibrant business environment that promotes and facilitates export success. Working in concert with the export community and other government departments, Going Global, Staying Local will focus government efforts and resources where it can be most effective - giving Nova Scotia's exporters the support they need to succeed.
