Resources / Reports & Research / Strategic Industries Analytics Report

​​​​​​​There is a critical need for more granular data covering some of the Metro Vancouver region’s key export-oriented industries to support data-driven decisions in economic development and to guide investment attraction efforts.

​

The Strategic Industries Analytics (SIA) project fills this need by providing previously unavailable datasets for selected regional industry components covering GDP, employment, and capital stock over the past twenty years. The Strategic Industries Analytics report ​analyzes these datasets to provide a better understanding of Invest Vancouver’s key industries, provoke further investigation, discussion, and collaboration among public and private sector stakeholders.​​

The report identifies Digital Media & Entertainment, Life Sciences, and High-tech Services as Metro Vancouver's rising stars among the key industries.​

" The Strategic Industries Analytics project is just the beginning. The results inform our strategic investment attraction initiatives, guide our forward-thinking priorities, and spotlight economic development opportunities that will position the region for success in a rapidly evolving global economy. Invest Vancouver will continue to investigate these fast-growing areas and other strategic sectors to advance a dynamic and resilient regional economy that delivers prosperity for all residents in the region. "
