Mississauga’s Economic Development Strategy

Overview

The City of Mississauga, Economic Development Division is developing a new five-year strategic plan with insights from Mississauga businesses. The Economic Development Strategy 2025-2030 will help position our city as a global leader in innovative, sustainable and inclusive growth.

Strategy objectives

• Position Mississauga for long-term economic competitiveness.
• Build partnerships to set priorities and develop growth opportunities.
• Drive progress toward City strategic priorities including job growth and long-term fiscal sustainability.

The strategy will present a new vision for continued economic growth in Mississauga. It will set goals for the short, medium and long term, and key performance indicators to measure success.

Key priorities

The strategy will advance priorities and actions in the following areas:

• Investment attraction and local sector development
• Innovation, entrepreneurship and small business
• Talent attraction, retention and development
• Strategic growth opportunities

The new strategy will replace the existing Economic Development Strategy 2020-2025 which was approved by Council, December 11, 2019.

Public engagement

In April 2025, the City conducted a survey to seek input from local businesses to help shape its approach to economic growth and support for local businesses. The feedback will help identify opportunities, challenges, and priorities for the new strategy that can strengthen the City’s business environment, workforce, infrastructure, and overall economic competitiveness.
