Our Location

A mid-continent location, excellent transportation links and a highly diversified economy ensure Manitoba a consistently strong economic and research-friendly climate. Covering just over 650,000 square kilometres, this prairie province is home to more than a million people.

Manitoba's capital city of Winnipeg is located in the geographical centre of North America with close proximity to the United States. Winnipeg is home to three continental railway services, half the country's largest trucking firms, and an international airport operating 24 hours a day, preserving the city's historic position as a major transportation hub. An added benefit is the province's central time zone, which allows for easy communication with research and industry contacts across the continent.

Manitoba also boasts an educated and highly skilled labour force, a dependable infrastructure and low business costs. The province is not only an excellent place to work and develop research and business opportunities – Manitoba also provides an exceptional quality of life, offering a rich variety of social, cultural and recreational benefits.
