Foreign Direct Investment

Brantford is widely recognized as a place with a strong sense of community that takes great pride in building long-standing successful relationships with our valued community partners. Our diverse economy and proximity to large consumer markets offer businesses several competitive advantages that have resulted in significant foreign investments. Brantford's supportive municipal government continues to make great strides in shaping our city into one that is increasingly vibrant, innovative, inclusive, and open for business.

We are very appreciative of the strong support we have received from our government partners including the Brantford Economic Development and Tourism Department.

Yasunari Mitsui, President & Representative Director, Mitsui High-tec, Inc.

Our community's key competitive advantages are the reason we continue to grow and elevate the City's profile as evidenced by a recent ranking as a Top 10 American Micro-City of the Future by fDi Magazine.
