The CDMN Soft Landing program offers qualified, mature start-ups and scale-ups exposure to business opportunities outside of Canada. Companies can utilize this program to open new markets, close international sales, secure investment and connect with new partners abroad. Successful candidates will receive up to $4,000 CAD in reimbursable expenses to help offset transportation and accommodation costs.

• Demonstrate a strong probability of creating jobs, closing sales or securing investment outside of Canada
• Clearly define potential meetings and the expected outcome in dollar value
