The proposed agency aims to create a coordinated, single-window approach for businesses and investors across Manitoba.

Winnipeg remains at the centre of the organization's mandate as it works with partners across the province to attract investment, talent, events, and economic growth.

Winnipeg Economic Development & Tourism says Davidson's collaborative leadership will help guide that work and strengthen Manitoba's position as a place to invest and grow.
