ANIM, Manitoba's Bilingual Trade Agency, was created three years ago to support and develop Manitoba's economy by promoting trade with francophone markets in Canada and abroad, with particular emphasis on Quebec, France and Belgium. Since its inception, ANIM has built up a considerable network of Manitoba businesses interested in expanding nationally and internationally. Supported by economic development agencies like the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, ANIM helps Manitoba businesses discover new markets and find investors for their products and services. ANIM increasingly draws on its growing network of partners in Quebec and Europe to assist Manitoba entrepreneurs from all sectors in achieving their business plans.
