Opportunity is one thing. Being ready for it is another. A new BDC study estimates Canada could attract $670 billion in additional major project investment through 2030 but delivering that work could require participation from approximately 280,000 Canadian businesses.
This week’s Round Up looks at what readiness means across construction: stronger scheduling, better visibility into job profitability, connected operations, safer crews and smarter technology. Add major infrastructure, AI data centres and new industry partnerships, and there’s plenty to dig into this week.
Thanks for subscribing.
Sincerely,
