Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation
The goal of the Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation is clear: to help grow a strong, innovative economy that provides jobs and prosperity for all Ontarians. To accomplish that, they offer the programs, services and tools businesses need to innovate and compete in today’s fast-changing global economy.
Their strategy focuses on four priority areas:
Building prosperity through increased productivity and innovation
They are addressing the root causes of Ontario’s productivity gap, including increasing access to capital and bringing together entrepreneurs, academia and investors to help build globally focused, investor-ready companies.
Promoting Ontario as a place to invest, innovate, trade and grow your business
They help businesses grow by promoting innovation, attracting and retaining investments, and creating new opportunities for jobs and economic prosperity.
Supporting regional growth through the province’s strategic sectors
They work with businesses and strategic sectors to identify challenges and solutions to strengthen industry-leading clusters by promoting innovation in those key areas.
Promoting the modernization of government
Through the government’s Open for Business initiative, they are making investing in Ontario more attractive for businesses, while protecting the public interest. We are creating government-to-business services that move at the speed of business.
The Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation is focused on building an Ontario economy that is forward-looking, agile and innovative – primed to compete for the high-value jobs of tomorrow.
