The first half of 2020 presented unprecedented challenges for business. Head offices overnight created a distributed workforce, supply lines were disrupted and billions of dollars in government support and assistance were distributed. Within days of the epidemic we conducted a regional Business Impact Survey and focused activities on assisting our local existing business to survive and potentially grow – through accessing liquidity financing and other short-term “survival” mechanisms. At the same time, we adapted our tactics to include reimagining disrupted global supply chains and identified local suppliers – supporting the design of a more resilient local supply chain moving forward. This activity led to the formation of a Regional Industry Leadership Team, bringing together some of the largest locally owned industrial firms in an effort to foster innovation, cooperation and increase local buying. We are continuing to support local firms as we now accelerate our core attraction activities in the final quarter of 2020.
