  • 2015 Gtma Annual Report
    2015 GTMA ANNUAL REPORT 20152015 GTMAGTMA ANNUALANNUAL REPORTREPORT GTA GTA GTAGTA 1 2015 was another record-breaking year for the GTMA with respect to attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Collectively, we should all be proud of our achievements and contributions to the economy of the GTA as George Hanus, President & CEO outlines in greater detail within his letter. The GTMA continued to implement its FDI activities based on the 2011-2014 Corporate Strategic Plan. This plan was the result of an extensive consultation process with stakeholder groups and the GTMA Board of Directors. This past year saw the GTMA focus on a select number of established and also new markets and limited sectors for proactive FDI work. However, the GTMA also assisted projects from other markets and sectors referred by partner organizations. The numerous projects and meetings have actively involved the private and public sector partners in our investment attraction efforts. The GTMA’s human and financial resources were focused on its core mandate of FDI. This is reflected in our excellent results in 2015. Over the past several years, we have been implementing the recommendations of the “Roadmap to Revitalization” project on the future of the GTMA. Discussions with key decision-makers at the most senior levels of the provincial and federal governments have generated very encouraging indications of support. As such, we have played an active role in the creation of a new investment attraction agency that is expected to receive increased regional, provincial and federal funding in 2016. The GTMA continued to face challenges of limited resources for its very important role.
