Creative Export Canada
From: Canadian Heritage
The Creative Export Canada (CEC) program provides visibility and funding to help Canadian creative works achieve financial success abroad. CEC aims to heighten exposure of Canadian creative works in international markets and to increase export profitability for Canada’s creative industries.
The CEC program’s total funding envelope is $33 million over three years ($11 million per year, from 2023-2024 to 2025-2026). The $11 million per year is divided into two funding streams: the Export-Ready Stream and the Export Development Stream.
Export-Ready Stream
The Export-Ready Stream, formerly known as CEC, provides $7 million in funding per year to support export-ready projects that are expected to generate export revenues and help Canadian creative industries reach more people around the world.
The application deadline is May 29, 2024 for projects with expenses starting between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025.
