Minimizing risk and keeping costs down are fundamental to success - and Ontario makes it possible to do both. We welcome foreign investment, as companies from all over Europe, the U.S. and Asia have discovered. And we help companies get up and running quickly, requiring the fewest start-up procedures of any G7 country.

• Canada will lead the other G7 countries in economic growth in 2009 according to the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook Update - November 2008. We have low inflation and interest rates and a favourable exchange rate.

• The World Economic Forum, in its Global Competitiveness Report 2008-2009, ranks Canadian banks the most sound in the world.

• Our R&D tax incentive program is also widely recognized as one of the most generous in the world. When tax credits are factored in, $100 in R&D expenditures can be reduced to less than $36.

Bottom line? If you want to conduct leading-edge nanotechnology R&D or partner with an innovative nano company, look to Ontario.

We have the skills, the tools and the business savvy to help you succeed.
