Ontario Budget item paves way to creating the factories of the future
The recently announced Ontario budget supports an Advanced Manufacturing Consortium being formed between McMaster University in Hamilton, Western University in London and the University of Waterloo. It's a $35-million, five-year commitment.
WPH has observed the recent up-tick in employment in the manufacturing sector in Hamilton and if properly managed, this initiative holds the potential to propel Ontario, and Canada, to the forefront of a major trend reshaping global manufacturing.
