A A A

Sudbury is home to a variety of business ventures and professional services. Our strong entrepreneurial culture has led to over 12,000 local businesses as we’ve become the leading employment sector in the region.

The entrepreneurial spirit of our community has its foundation in the mining industry; however, today entrepreneurship is also occurring in other sectors and spaces.

Our retail sector has grown substantially over the past decade. As the largest city in Northern Ontario, Sudbury is the regional hub for retail. People from across the north view Sudbury as their shopping destination.

With the third largest francophone population in Canada outside of Quebec, Sudbury has the bilingual workforce you need to service your clients.  Our bilingual workforce has made Sudbury the epicentre of the north for administrative offices, call centres and business headquarters.  We are also home to Canada Revenue Agency’s largest taxation centre in Canada.
