At Waterloo EDC, our mission is to build a world-leading legacy of sustainable economic development, prosperity and diversity for Waterloo Region.
Our annual report helps us see how far we’ve come and how we can continue to push forward.
With ongoing support from our partners and the community, our focus remains on making it easy for companies to invest and thrive here – companies like Acerta, Dana, Meta IT and PWO who all decided to locate, relocate or expand in our region in 2023.
This year’s report emphasizes the importance of saying “yes” to investment opportunities. And how we can do that by creating the right conditions for investment through careful planning and preparation, while navigating urgent issues that are impacting our region.
Despite a heavy workload in 2023, we’re pleased to report that we surpassed every goal and benchmark we set, including overall investment value, number of investments and more.
