Growth, Innovation, Partnership

Welcome to the Ontario Economic Development Summit

This summit is the platform that connects businesses and municipal leaders around a common goal of business growth and economic success. Businesses no longer have to brave growth independently, but can leverage tools, partnerships, relationships, and investments that are traditionally considered ‘out of reach’.
Here, the brightest minds in business, government, and community development converge to shape the economic trajectory of Ontario.
