Building Back Better: The Opportunities for Businesses in a Post-Covid Ottawa

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the regional economy more than any other event in decades. It shuttered businesses, forced work teams to home offices and disrupted supply chains.
 
Despite the massive disruption, there is an underlying sense that Ottawa can build back better from the pandemic.
 
Join Ottawa Business Journal and the Ottawa Board of Trade for the launch of the 2021 Welch Ottawa Business Growth Survey.
 
The most comprehensive survey of local business leaders, the 2021 Welch Ottawa Business Growth Survey report explores how local business is adapting to changes in how and where we work, connect with customers and plan for the future. It also takes a closer look at how the pandemic has affected business confidence, hiring intentions and company profitability.
