Strategic Marketing Plan Workshops Scheduled for March 29, 30 and 31 2010

The Economic Development Office is undertaking a broad-ranging review of our economic development marketing strategy. This review will enable us to better understand future trends in select industries, sectors and markets, and guide our efforts to attract and sustain future economic growth. The final result will be the creation of a multi-year Economic Development Marketing Plan for 2011-2014.

As part of our market research, we are hosting six workshops focused on discussing issues related to major economic drivers for Brampton in the coming years. Those drivers include Workforce Development; Green Economic Development; R&D, Innovation and New Product Development; International Economic Development; Entrepreneurship; and, Supply Chain. The insights and information you provide to us in these workshops will guide the development of the City’s new Marketing Strategy.
