About EDCO

The Economic Developers Council of Ontario Inc. (EDCO) is an independent, non-profit association of persons engaged in the economic development of Ontario and its communities. The Council was founded in 1957 and incorporated in 1962 as the Ontario Industrial Developers Council Inc. In 1991, the Council changed its name to reflect the broadened and changing nature of the Ontario economy.

Today’s membership embraces over 600 economic development practitioners across a variety of professions and at all levels of the public and private sectors, each adding specialized knowledge to the existing and ever-expanding resources of EDCO.
