Here you'll find information on the organizations and initiatives to develop economic opportunities and strengthen collaborative partnerships that are contributing to future investment and job creation in the City of London and surrounding region. Key resources include the London Chamber of Commerce and London Economic Development Corporation (LEDC).

We are the Southwestern Ontario centre for business, education and health care and a major transportation hub. The Ambassador Bridge, North America's #1 international border crossing, is within 200 kilometres and our rail service connects us with Canadian and American destinations. London’s International Airport - which offers more than 70 scheduled flights weekly - also has extensive cargo operations.

Noted for its economic diversity, London is the Canadian headquarters or major production centre for such prominent companies as 3M Canada, EllisDon, Kellogg Canada, Labatt,  Diamond Aircraft and Trojan Technologies. Thanks to its advanced communications infrastructure and well-qualified workforce London is also the location of choice for many customer call centres.
