The project will assist in development of a supply chain analysis and marketing strategy to support the transition of existing and new eastern Ontario companies to emerging opportunities in the advanced manufacturing, medical devices and food supply chains. This work will include integration of a virtual 3D tool the organization has developed as a new technology being adopted in preparation for implementing innovative new approaches to investment attraction and business support, transitioning from a basic online presence to an interactive, dynamic and measurable presence that will convene regional partners, promote opportunities and allow for real time performance measurement. The project will support our transition from a previous operating model that was sector focused and independent to an inclusive multi-sectoral approach that will allow the Commission to pivot to address emerging opportunities that are more effectively promoted in a regional partnership. The project will build on established successes in collaborative regional economic development activities and reset the organizations strategy with new initiatives to build infrastructure and promote opportunities to a global market.
