10 Great Reasons to do Business in Manitoba

Manitoba workers possess high levels of education, training and skills, and are respected by employers for their enthusiasm, creativity and loyalty.

Manitoba’s Central Time Zone is a major advantage for service-sector businesses.

Manitoba’s transportation infrastructure of roads, railways and airports permits finished goods to be shipped quickly and cost-effectively to any destination in the world.
