Given the recent downturn in the automotive sector, many automotive supplier companies have had to restructure significantly.  Now that the economy appears to be turning positive, automotive parts suppliers are beginning to ramp up production to accommodate increase product demand.

Join us on October 29, 2009 to learn about financial support mechanisms available to suppliers as they ramp up production.  The Government of Canada has recently provided stimulus money to its key Crown Corporations such as Exports Development Canada EDC) and Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) to help support our sector.  EDC's Credit Insurance and BDC's recent P.O. Financing Program is key examples of programs available-there are others! 

In addition, there are other support programs available through other departments such as the National Research Council to help companies increase competitiveness through research and development to help companies improve innovation and product development.  The SR & ED and IRAP programs are but a two of a number of programs available.
