Challenges Facing Municipal Economic Development Teams

Across Canada, municipalities play a vital role in nurturing local business ecosystems. Yet, many economic development offices still rely on paper-based systems, scattered spreadsheets, and disconnected tools that limit collaboration and efficiency.

Key challenges include:

  • Inefficient intake and inquiry handling through manual forms
  • Fragmented data across departments, making reporting difficult
  • Limited visibility into business engagement outcomes
  • Duplication of effort between staff members
  • Difficulty scaling programs as demand grows

Without digital transformation, even the most dedicated teams struggle to keep pace with the growing expectations of entrepreneurs, policymakers, and citizens.
