Collaborative Support for Local Enterprises

The webinar, scheduled for November 16, 2025, represents a proactive approach to addressing the economic challenges facing local enterprises.
The timing of this initiative comes as many Canadian businesses, including those in Windsor-Essex, face uncertainty in international trade relationships and fluctuating tariff regulations. The partnering organizations recognize the need for immediate and practical support for business owners navigating these complex waters.
Addressing Regional Economic Concerns

Business owners will learn about compliance requirements, cost-management techniques, and potential restructuring options to maintain competitiveness.
Building Business Resilience
Beyond immediate tariff concerns, the webinar will also focus on long-term resilience building for local businesses. Participants will gain insights into diversifying supply chains, developing contingency plans for trade disruptions, and identifying new growth opportunities in emerging markets.
The collaboration between Invest WindsorEssex and the Windsor Essex Chamber of Commerce demonstrates the region's commitment to supporting its business community through challenging economic times. This initiative follows similar successful programs that have helped local businesses adapt to changing market conditions and regulatory environments.
