Attention #Vaughan industrial businesses! Registration is now open for the Vaughan B2B: Industrial Tour! Collaboration at the local level is crucial in maintaining business stability and building resilience. We are hosting a Vaughan Business-to-Business (B2B) Industrial Tour on Friday, Sept. 27 to help local businesses get to know their neighbouring companies and find opportunities to collaborate. The Vaughan B2B: Industrial Tour aims to provide learning and networking opportunities for Vaughan-based companies by matching two companies with similar interests and needs. Paired businesses will take turns touring each other’s facilities to share operational best practices, policies and business challenges. Participating businesses must have 20 employees or more and operate in industrial sectors such as warehousing and distribution, logistics, manufacturing, and building materials. This is also an excellent chance to explore potential pilot projects and partnership opportunities. The event is free to attend and will begin with a continental networking breakfast, remarks by Mayor Steven Del Duca, presentations by Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing and NGen Canada, and more. Afterwards, participating businesses will split up for facility tours. Interested participants can visit vaughanbusiness.ca/B2BTour for details and to register by Friday, Sept. 13.  Special thanks to our key sponsor Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing for their support and partnership! #TAPintoVaughan #VaughanAdvantage #Networking #B2B Vaughan Chamber of Commerce York Link | York Region Economic Development NGen Canada
