Online workshops support growth in burgeoning defence sector
Thunder Bay’s Community Economic Development Commission (CEDC) is hosting two online workshops for local businesses looking to get into the defence sector.
As Canada amps up its defence procurement initiatives, the workshops will focus in on how businesses can benefit from involving themselves in Canada’s new defence strategy, and exactly what sort of opportunities are available.
“We are actively exploring opportunities that position Thunder Bay companies to benefit from Canada’s growing defence sector,” said Jamie Taylor, CEO of the Thunder Bay CEDC. “Through strategic investment, collaboration, and business support, our goal is to strengthen the local economy and create long-term opportunities for our community.”
