EDC helps Canadian businesses grow through export, by providing financial solutions, export knowledge and connections needed to confidently enter new markets, while reducing financial risk.

George Monize, managing director and head of Indo-Pacific at EDC told reporters that the Team Canada trade mission will be in the country at the start of December, and take place along with the opening of EDC's representation in Manila.

Chia Wan Liew, EDC counsellor and chief representative for the Philippines said the mission, composed of 450 delegates from around 250 companies, will be in the country from Dec. 5 to 6.
