Site Selection Magazine has recognized Invest Mississauga, as one of the top 20 local and regional groups in Canada for business, jobs.
Business and innovation | September 9, 2024
Site Selection Magazine has once again recognized Invest Mississauga, the City’s Economic Development Division, among the top 20 local and regional groups excelling at positioning their city as one of Canada’s best locations for business, jobs and investment. This marks Mississauga’s eighth straight year on the list, which scores municipalities based on corporate end-user facility investments, job creation data and the magazine’s research.
This prestigious ranking recognizes the City’s commitment to promoting Mississauga as a competitive, prosperous, sustainable and inclusive economic centre.
As the City commemorates and reflects on the last 50 years, there is a lot to be proud of and many accomplishments to celebrate. Today, Mississauga has one of the world’s most diverse economies. We also have exciting developments to highlight, including recent investments and updates benefitting the businesses that call Mississauga home. For example:
Businesses choose Mississauga for investment and growth because the City’s customer-focused and collaborative approach provides key support for companies at every stage, from start-up to scale-up and beyond. For example, Invest Mississauga provides customized market and data insights, sector-specific programs and services, and access to a large network to help entrepreneurs and businesses make informed decisions more quickly and effectively.
IDEA Mississauga, an arm of Invest Mississauga, supports the city’s startup community, and accelerates inclusive entrepreneurship. Through the IDEA Entrepreneurship Hub, located inside the Square One Shopping Centre, entrepreneurs can come together in a collaborative, creative space. Founders can connect with mentors, partners, and access talent and programming that will help take their ideas to the next level.
Mississauga’s strategic location in North America is another significant advantage for businesses. The robust supply chain, global market access, Toronto Pearson airport, two post-secondary institutions and skilled and diverse talent pool make it an ideal location for business growth, which is why it remains a top choice for leading companies.
