Growing together, beyond borders… and challenges
Montréal is a business hub open to the world. But in an unstable international context – marked by geopolitical tensions, fragile supply chains, rapidly evolving regulations, and increased competition – SMEs must find new ways to remain competitive.
The Club Exportateurs MTL was created to address these challenges. It is an exclusive space designed for SMEs that want to:
- strengthen their resilience in the face of global uncertainties
- rely on collective intelligence to find concrete solutions
- accelerate their growth by entering new markets
Here, we talk about export strategies, but also everything that makes a difference in succeeding internationally: supply chains, financing, regulations, human resources, digital transformation, the rise of AI… Because growing internationally also means building a stronger business, here and abroad.

“Exporting is not just about selling products or services in other countries. It’s about opening up to the world, learning to see things differently, and embracing transformation along the way. Exporting means discovering new ways of thinking, collaborating, and innovating. It’s about building lasting bridges – not only between markets, but also between people, cultures, and ideas.
In today’s context, where Canada seeks to demonstrate its ability to diversify markets, reduce dependency, and assert its place on the international stage, the role of our SMEs is central.
With the Club Exportateurs MTL, we want to provide these businesses with a space to grow together, take on these challenges, and affirm that Montréal has the drive to go further, stronger, and with greater impact – here at home, and around the world.”
