The Windsor-Essex region sits within a day’s drive of over half of the North American population. The region is home to a diversified and innovative workforce with demonstrated capacity in automotive, advanced manufacturing, agri-business, life sciences, and food processing operations and provides extensive expertise in Education and R&D.

Housing and land costs are among Canada’s most affordable – roughly half of Toronto prices – and commercial and industrial space are both available and affordable, by any standard.

Our location, deep in the heart of North America, makes us an excellent location for multi-modal logistics. With direct access to continental air and rail systems, major land routes and deep-water ocean ports, we’re an ideal point of interchange for North American logistics operations.

Windsor-Essex features Ontario’s balmiest weather, with average daily temperatures above 10°C (50°F) seven and half month of the year – perfect for golfing, gardening, boating and much more. Agriculture and award-winning wine making are major industries.

For those looking for urban pursuits, the area offers major league sports, world-class gaming, big-name stage performances, and international art exhibits in several galleries.
