Vancouver Economic Action Strategy
Our strategy for a high-performing economy is to:
- Create a healthy climate for growth and prosperity
- Provide support for local business, new investment, and global trade
- Focus on people to attract and retain human capital
A thriving, diverse economy with opportunity for everyone is the foundation of a liveable city.
Council has undertaken a number of initiatives to promote and strengthen local business, provide the tools for Vancouver's businesses to flourish while incorporating sustainable practices, and make the city an attractive destination for businesses around the world.
