“As the global business environment is rapidly changing, Ontario has an unprecedented opportunity to lead in a multitude of sectors. We are well positioned to build a competitive and prosperous economy,” said Rocco Rossi, President and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. “The summit will bring together leaders from different industries, backgrounds and experiences right here in Toronto – the fastest growing city in the U.S. and Canada – to exchange innovative ideas and generate solutions to critical issues facing our province. Together, we will explore opportunities to navigate our unique advantage to confront the new age of business, propelling our economy, our future, and our Ontario for long-term success.”

For the past 16 years, OES has brought together thought leaders from business, labour, academia, the not-for-profit sector, and government to discuss and shape Ontario’s public policy agenda and strengthen Ontario’s economy.
