The Invest WindsorEssex initiative was seven months in the making and will include in-kind investments from private sector partners as well as partnerships with Windsor’s post-secondary institutions.
Its aim is to continue the region’s transformation from traditional auto assembly through automation into a centre of high-tech innovation and development to make it the Canadian capital of auto mobility.
Among the elements included in the proposal are creating several mobility/entrepreneurship accelerators specific to the sector, establish positions in local post-secondary institutions to liaison with industry, develop talent pipelines, create an IT auto mobility hub and simulator lab for software development, support the growing local cyber security sector, battery production, establish an electric powertrain commercialization centre, build mobility and data platforms along with recruiting new talent and companies.
