“After a very successful inaugural year, we are thrilled to be bringing the contest back again in 2019,” said Lisa Lisson, president, FedEx Express Canada. “FedEx understands the important role small businesses play for Canadians, and it is our privilege to be able to create possibilities for Canadian entrepreneurs through our grant contest.”
The FedEx Small Business Grant Contest is designed to provide small businesses with support and financial resources to help them grow and be competitive locally and in markets around the world. The FedEx Small Business Grant Contest was first launched in 2012 in the U. S. Since then, the contest has expanded to twelve markets worldwide, including mainland China, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, England, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. Across the globe, FedEx is the backbone of the e-commerce economy, having spent four decades building, expanding, and simplifying a physical network to move goods to more than 220 countries and territories, linking more than ninety-nine per cent of the global GDP. By moving goods fast and reliably across borders, Canadian businesses can decrease costs, improve supply chains, and identify new opportunities for growth and profitability.
During the inaugural 2018 contest more than 375,000 Canadians voted on social media for their favourite businesses in Canada, and the contest attracted more than 2,100 small business candidates from across Canada. Grand Prize winner, Faire Child—an eco-innovative children’s outerwear company based in Nova Scotia—invested its winnings into marketing efforts and expansion of its product line.
