History
Industry and Trade Expansion was created in 1986 within the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology when parts of the former Trade Division and the Industry Division were combined together in a single division.
The division comprised the international and domestic offices of the ministry, organized geographically into a number of branches. When the division was created, the Domestic Offices Branch administered the offices of the ministry in Ontario. The other branches were the US and Latin America Branch, the Europe, Middle East and Africa Branch, the Pacific Rim Branch and the China and South Asia Branch.
There was, in addition, an Investment and Support Services Branch. In 1987, the Investment and Support Services Branch and the Domestic Offices Branch were combined to form the Investment and Regional Operations Branch.
In 1991, the division ceased to exist, and was replaced by the Trade and International Relations Division (which took on the international offices). Domestic offices of the Ministry were moved to the jurisdiction of the Industry and Technology Division.
