Each year, the Ottawa Business Journal and the Ottawa Board of Trade explore the opportunities and challenges facing local businesses.
This year, in addition to our annual business confidence index, the Welch Business Growth Survey will unpack the barriers to growth for Ottawa businesses, as well as their plans for the future.
We’ll be looking at the survey results from several perspectives, including location of the company, stage of growth, size, and industry. We’ll also examine how businesses are progressing with initiatives around sustainability and diversity and inclusion. And we’ll be talking with some of Ottawa’s business leaders about what’s coming next for Ottawa in 2023 and beyond.
