Despite a recent survey of Toronto’s business elite that reported collective concern about Toronto’s ability to compete and win new business investment against other North American cities such as Chicago, Boston, New York and Calgary, Toronto could, under the right set of circumstances, be a big winner in the new “cluster” economy.
Robert Fung is Chair of the new Waterfront Development Corporation and Vice Chair of Yorkton Securities. His financial background, combined with what he has learned about the growth, world-wide, of savvy urban centres as they compete to become preferred portals for high tech and knowledge based corporations, bring fresh insight to the Toronto of the future.
Be prepared for what Fung believes is the new role for corporate leaders, not just governments, in ensuring major urban centres and the country are globally competitive.
