MEDIA RELEASE

WindsorEssex Economic Development Corporation rebrands as Invest WindsorEssex

Windsor-Essex County, ON — WindsorEssex Economic Development Corporation, the lead economic development agency for the region, has changed its name to Invest WindsorEssex. The rebrand reflects the continued efforts to promote Windsor-Essex as a competitive location for both foreign and local investment. The agency serves the region and its stakeholders through advancing economic growth and sustaining prosperity. 

Invest WindsorEssex has also launched a new corporate website at investwindsoressex.com. This past year has further stressed the need for online data tools and platforms to effectively communicate information to clients and partners. The new Invest WindsorEssex website will allow for easier access to data and information relevant to site selectors and local businesses for the purpose of investment, expansion and talent attraction. 

Two divisions within Invest WindsorEssex have also undergone changes as part of the rebrand. The WindsorEssex Small Business Centre (SBC) is now operating as the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Centre (SBEC), and has launched a new website, webusinesscentre.com. The Institute for Border Logistics and Security (IBLS) is now operating as Invest WindsorEssex Automobility and Innovation Centre. 

"Our regional businesses have evolved their business models over the past year, and we too recognize the need to adapt our organization. As Invest WindsorEssex, our message is clear that we are committed to promoting and advancing economic opportunities in Windsor-Essex in a modern and competitive way." — Stephen MacKenzie, President and CEO, Invest WindsorEssex 

“As I reflect on the challenges and opportunities that Windsor-Essex has faced to ensure a strong regional economy, I can’t think of a better time for the lead economic development agency to transition to a new name to reflect the global economic recovery ahead.” — Tom Bain, Chair, Board of Directors, Invest WindsorEssex
