4. “The Trade Commissioner Service gives us access to the highest levels of government to ensure that
if we have issues, we can understand them and we can resolve them. And that’s something that no
private company can do on its own, no matter what its size.”
—Murad Al-Katib, President of SaskCan Pulse Trading Inc.
“We’ve been working with the Trade Commissioner Service for the past few years, and they’ve been
very helpful in Asian markets where our company had no presence or expertise. Without assistance
from the TCS, it would have taken us longer to explore some of these markets and to help make a
decision as to whether we pursue or we postpone.”
—Kunal Gupta, CEO of Polar Mobile.
“The Trade Commissioner Service saved us time and money by providing expert support in Russia.
And because they have expert knowledge, they were able to advise us as far as what paths to stay on
and which paths to stay clear of. This information was key in developing our road map, our budgets
and our plans and also in managing our expectations.”
—Larisa Beach, Vice-President, International Business Development, Neptec Design Group.
