    The Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing has some exciting news: we are re-launching the Making it in Ontario podcast! Like before, we'll be talking to leaders in Ontario's advanced manufacturing sector. But this time we'll be focusing even more on the future. Ontario's economy depends on manufacturing, but the latest research reveals concerning trends that could undermine the sector's strength, if we don't address them. So join us as we talk to CEOs and other leaders at the forefront of this sector about productivity, strategy, talent markets and career opportunities, and the role of manufacturing in a prosperous and sustainable future. As part of the relaunch, we moved to a new host with a new RSS feed. Find new episodes here: https://making-it-in-ontario.captivate.fm/listen
