The documents and outreach assets that bring outside capital to the table.
Engagement on terms that keep ownership and control with the community.

Investment-ready project documents, equity structures that preserve community control, and outreach to investors aligned with the Nation's terms.
CanExport SME helps individual businesses pursue export opportunities, while CanExport Community Investments helps communities, including First Nations, attract foreign direct investment. We secured the first Community Investments grant awarded to an Indigenous community in Canada.
