Minister Sandra Pupatello issued the following statement regarding the expansion of Huawei’s operations in Ontario:
“Our government is proud to partner with Huawei, one of the world’s leading telecommunications technology companies, on their most recent expansion into Ontario. Setting up their Canadian headquarters in Markham and their R&D Centre of Excellence in Ottawa speaks to the confidence Huawei has in Ontario's skilled workforce and competitive business environment.
During Premier McGuinty's latest trade mission to China, Huawei-Ontario announced a $67 million in the expansion of the company’s Ottawa R&D Centre to help consolidate the company’s leadership in the global marketplace, and help create 164 new good jobs and support 56 existing jobs in the Ottawa region. That’s good news for the Ottawa region. And that’s good news for Ontario.
Huawei’s expansion project not only supports the Open Ontario plan to create new opportunities for jobs and growth, but also demonstrates that innovation begins here in Ontario, and that we are a world leader in R&D.
As a Global Technology Company, Huawei serves 45 of the world’s top 50 telecom operators. Huawei’s communications products and solutions are used in over 100 countries to over two billion users worldwide – that’s one third of the world’s population.”
