Fast Forward: Sector Strategies for Accelerating Toronto Region's Recovery

The Springboard team worked with Toronto Region Board of Trade on a report on mapping Toronto’s recovery from COVID-19.

As a world class city-region known for innovation, talent and business excellence, Toronto is well-positioned for a strong comeback from the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing recession. However, remaining globally competitive in a post-COVID economy means helping different sectors adapt and thrive in a changing world.This report, titled “Fast Forward: Sector Strategies for Accelerating the Toronto Region’s Recovery,” features six recommendations to ensure the region remains a great place to invest, live and work in the years ahead. These recommendations build on the Board’s Reimagining Recovery COVID-19 response efforts over the past year, particularly our work with Toronto Global and the City of Toronto to convene 11 leadership tables on sector-specific recovery. We are grateful for the insights shared and generous time commitment made by a wide array of individuals and organizations, and the leadership of Daniel Hengeveld, Vice President - Investment Attraction, Toronto Global, who co-chaired these sector recovery tables with Leigh Smout.
