YES! WINNIPEG 1 Winnipeg's business community benefits from an atypically strong bond not replicated elsewhere. This cohesiveness is one of our city's most celebrated advantages, and we're asking this community of experts, innovators and entrepreneurs to partner with Economic Development Winnipeg (EDW) by actively engaging with its YES! Winnipeg initiative to move the economic needle in a consequential way in the years ahead. Since its inception in 2011, YES! Winnipeg has worked with governments, local businesses and industry groups to proactively facilitate opportunities intended to create jobs and encourage capital investment in Winnipeg: But this initiative is dependent on you. Your participation signals a willingness to play an essential role, and it validates YES! Winnipeg's efforts to help shape our city's future. It's no secret that companies are attracted to communities where business successes are celebrated. Success breeds success, and the saying 'a rising tide lifts all boats' is warmly embraced here. Winnipeg's true strength lies in its leaders' willingness to work together to support important projects that propel our city forward. Perhaps it's our Prairie roots, but we know achieving something significant is rarely done in isolation. Instead, it happens when we collectively tap into our full potential. Economic development is a communal endeavour, and YES! Winnipeg investors appreciate this more than most. The companies highlighted in this newly reimagined Investor Directory have given their time and resources to maximize YES! Winnipeg's success. All have invested funds allowing YES! Winnipeg to continue its work to grow the economy through new job creation and capital investment. These corporate visionaries demonstrate the indomitable spirit of Winnipeg's business community, and they comprise suppliers, service providers, thought leaders and industry titans that YES! Winnipeg is pleased to recommend to its clients. Whether growing an existing Winnipeg-based business, starting a new venture or bringing fresh investment into the city, we encourage you to work with these companies to enable your own success. This directory features local firms operating within every industry sector. They want to help support your business, and YES! Winnipeg can work with you to strengthen relationships with any of these companies. If your business wants to become a YES! Winnipeg investor, we welcome your involvement. Joining this initiative can help generate leads for your business and bolster your bottom line, both of which positively impact Winnipeg's economy. Let's keep the momentum going. Please put your money to work on behalf of our city by becoming a YES! Winnipeg investor—and advocate—today. YES!
