Economic Development Winnipeg Inc. (EDW) is the champion for economic development in Winnipeg. With key framework mandates which include Tourism Winnipeg, and YES! Winnipeg, EDW provides market data, assistance and support to grow Winnipeg's economy by helping to make business success in Winnipeg easier and more attractive, and encouraging more people to come and see what Winnipeg has to offer. A key to EDW's success is its alignment with partners, stakeholders and teammates. This collaboration includes all levels of government, the private sector, post-secondary institutions and other organizations participating in the economic development space. Through this collaboration, EDW works to stimulate economic growth in Winnipeg and mobilize the city's tourism attraction activities. By providing targeted sector analysis and market data, EDW is a source of truth that other organizations can rely on. This information relays one of EDW's goals to promote and broadcast the Winnipeg story: why our city is the best place to live, work and play. This message is demonstrated through all the success stories that are happening here, which EDW shares with its audience as frequently as possible. EDW is a leader in Winnipeg's economic development and tourism initiatives, because we have the data and the expertise to be a positive influence on the city's economy. Our organization's leadership provides an opportunity for both local companies, as well as businesses from outside the city, to better compete in order to win jobs, increase investment and talent right here in Winnipeg.
