The goal is to gather and share data and analysis to create an accurate and consistent picture of the regional economy over time.
The group has already established a web page which provides a summary of key economic data for Waterloo Region. www.lcerpa.org/wrcerg
“It makes sense to share both the costs and the benefits of our research initiatives, especially within a community that truly understands the value of collaboration.” said John G. Jung, CEO of Canada’s Technology Triangle Inc.
