DIVERSITY: OUR STRENGTH

Burlington is fast becoming recognized as one of Canada's most dynamic cities.  Strategically located west of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), in the heart of the golden horseshoe and in close proximity to the US border, we continue to attract the best in business from across Canada and from other parts of the world.

Burlington has a clear vision with a very practical approach to success. Our core economic strengths focus on advanced manufacturing, software development, financial services, biotechnology, environmental and logistics enterprises. This is not the full extent of our community's story, as the diversity of sectors is one of our key economic strengths, which gives us sustainability and resiliency as we continue to expand and diversify from our enviable Southern Ontario base.  To assist us, with close proximity to graduates of highly skilled programs, we will work in partnership with McMaster University and Mohawk College in the emerging fields of technology, research and skills training.

Our city is well positioned with enviable access to regional, national and international transportation networks and our ongoing efforts continue to focus on helping our existing businesses grow and prosper by actively engaging in new investment opportunities from across Canada and around the world.

Burlington is a diverse, energetic and innovative community with well educated, highly skilled citizens.  We provide an excellent quality of life and have many wonderful features, from our vibrant downtown waterfront to the open and natural space of our rugged escarpment lands.

Burlington makes very good business sense.  We invite you to take a closer look.
