The Region of Durham’s Economic Development and Tourism division is responsible for supporting the growth of our Regional economy through creating and retaining jobs. To do this, Invest Durham promotes the region as a great place to do business, provides business services to attract new investment, enables a vibrant tourism industry, and provides agricultural and rural economic development programming in the northern townships.
The 2022 Economic Development and Tourism Annual Report captures a high-level summary of the activities undertaken by Economic Development and Tourism to inform the local community on important economic development initiatives—including an economic snapshot, entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives, sector developments, awards and recognized achievements, and partnerships.
Key highlights include:
- The launch of Ready Set Future: A PLACE Blueprint for Durham, a five-year strategy for Economic Development and Tourism, and Growing Agri-Food Durham, an action plan that focuses on advancing agri-food as a priority cluster for the region of Durham.
- Teaming up with Durham Region’s local innovation community to showcase our exciting development potential to businesses and investors at Collision Conference.
- Organizing investment tours, agri-food webinars, and supported tourism events.
The annual report was created to raise awareness of the activities of economic development and the importance of its role in our community.
