Build your International Network

Build your international network

When it comes to running a business, competitiveness and success go hand-in-hand. We call this your Global Competitive Advantage (GCA): your ability to offer a unique value to your customers outside Canada. According to our research and research from The Conference Board of Canada on behalf of HSBC, developing or expanding your international network is one way to build on that advantage.

Building a network takes time, money and staff who are dedicated to helping your business grow internationally. But it’s worth it. Finding new customers, intermediaries, partners and international opportunities hinges on successful global networking.

Developing a Global Competitive Advantage Through International Networks will show you how to develop a solid network — and how to use it to your advantage to push your business ahead of domestic and international competition.
