Peterborough & the Kawarthas Economic Development (PKED), the region's lead economic development agency, strives to offer local businesses the tools they need to thrive.

PKED is the lead regional economic development agency for the City and County of Peterborough and is funded to deliver economic development and tourism services.

Among their comprehensive suite of business support services, PKED supports the retention of existing local businesses and helps to support new businesses in the area.

The Programs and Services Guide, as well as resources like the Small Business Tool Kit, data, resources and reports are available on PKED’s new website www.investptbo.ca
