Our role is to connect Manitoba companies with opportunities around the world through our global network of more than 300 World Trade Centres. Trade is built on relationships. The stronger those relationships become, the stronger Manitoba’s economy becomes.

The podcast story

Beyond Manitoba Borders is a podcast by World Trade Centre Winnipeg that takes Manitoba businesses inside international markets, one destination at a time.

Each episode explores a different market through conversations with leaders from across the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) network, global partners, and experts who understand what it takes to do business there. From emerging opportunities and key industries to local business culture, market realities, and what companies should know before expanding, we bring the insights that matter closer to home.

But the conversation doesn’t start with the microphone. It starts with Market Intelligence.

WTC Winnipeg’s Market Intelligence team uses research, data, and market insights to help shape each episode — identifying the questions Manitoba businesses should be asking and the opportunities worth exploring. The podcast then brings those insights to life through the perspectives and experience of people on the ground.

The result is more than a conversation about international trade. It’s a practical window into markets around the world — designed to help Manitoba businesses discover opportunities, understand where they could fit, and take their next step with greater confidence.

Because going global doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

Your next market could be beyond Manitoba’s borders. Let’s explore it together.
