Economic Development
In addition to the challenges of a rapidly changing, highly competitive global market, Nova Scotia companies say they are facing internal challenges that impede or prevent them from exporting.

The Go-Ahead Program (GAP) plays a key role in helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) realize their export and revenue growth potential by supporting firms to pursue export opportunities.

GAP provides support to SMEs in Nova Scotia to develop export sales outside the Maritime provinces. The program will help cover the costs of follow-up market visits to prospects identified or pursued during a previous provincial government or export agency initiative, including trade missions, shows or conferences.

GAP is a highly focused program that will help all new and existing SME exporters meet the specific challenges they face.
