Differentiation Factor(s)
Durham Region is the eastern anchor of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and only a 40-minute drive (37 km / 23 miles) from downtown Toronto. If Ontario is the economic engine of Canada, with Toronto being the driver of economic growth, then Durham Region is the best opportunity for future development as the industrial heart of Canada. Durham Region’s 5 most industrious municipalities lie right on Lake Ontario, providing direct access to major 400 series highways, rail transport, seaports, and air transport, connecting Durham Region with major suppliers, manufacturers, and consumers along the automotive corridor (Montreal – Detroit, Ohio, North and South Carolina, Alabama). Within an 8-hour drive, Durham Region can access 135 million consumers. With an unparalleled and affordable quality of life, Canada and Durham Region alike have many economic and philosophical alignments with their target geographies such as Korea, Japan, and Singapore.
