Kitchener is home to a highly innovative and diversified economy, with clusters of businesses that are continually reinventing themselves.
By many accounts, our economy is the envy of Ontario - and Canada; and a model for the development of a highly competitive, urban region that supports a high standard of living with innovation and capital investment.
We are the largest municipality in the Waterloo Region, supporting high levels of research and development spending; and we are well positioned to stay ahead of the curve in the years ahead.
By investing in new sectors, such as life sciences, biotechnology, digital media, and arts and culture, we will continue to enhance our own competitiveness while fostering innovation and knowledge creation.
