The effectiveness of economic development and trade efforts is driven largely by the level of cooperation and leveraged resources around a common set of goals, which exist among the various relevant stakeholders.
In Winnipeg, the low public visibility of the economic development stakeholders has translated into insufficient public recognition of our community's economic development priorities and strengths.
An opportune environment now exists for our economic development stakeholders to co-locate operations in a single centre, which will foster greater synergies and strategic partnerships fundamental to success in today's globally competitive marketplace.
The International Business Centre (IBC), located in the heart of downtown Winnipeg, will be the hub for busienss, trade, and toursim information and activity in our community.
Delegations from around the world will have a central point to engage the Winnipeg business community in discussions on trade, investment, and strategic alliances.
The IBC will become the new home for The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, Destination Winnipeg, and Manitoba Trade and Investment, along with a number of other organizations that recognize the benefits of becoming part of the IBC.
The Main Floor will feature a "Showcase of Industry", profiling the very best of Manitoba industry in a creative, interactive display that will engage IBC visitors.
The Second Floor, overlooking our signature street, Portage Avenue, will offer a conference centre, including a variety of meeting rooms and a state of the art boardroom for high-level presentations.
Your support is needed to bring the IBC from concept to reality. Opportunities for exclusive sponsorship of the Second Floor conference centre are now available.
As an exclusive sponsor, your company will have its name identified with one of the following: the main boardroom, a meeting room, the sitting area, or a chair in one of the meeting rooms.
Your company will also be profiled in the foyer as a major sponsor along with other contributors.
Due to limited availability, room or chair sponsorships will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.
Used primarily by IBC partners and available for use by Chamber member companies, the Signature Boardroom, featuring state of the art technology, will host national and international delegations.
A truly unique opportunity to have your corporate name prominantly attached with Winnpeg's premiere boardroom, within Winnipeg's focal point for business, trade and investments.
