Today's announcement not only helps further Ontario's ambition of becoming a global leader in health sciences, but solidifies a partnership decades in the making between our province and Roche.

Brigitte Nolet:
I'm a homegrown Ontario native from the Niagara Peninsula. I'm very proud of the fact that we're able to create these opportunities for Ontarians, and that they can have a meaningful global career and stay in Canada while doing so. Invest Ontario's collaboration with us is the key reason that we were able to attract this investment.

Roche was looking for a partner who could bring everyone to the table.

Brigitte Nolet:
And so if any company is thinking about either expanding already existing operations or bringing operations to Ontario, Invest Ontario's a core partner in being able to help you build a business case, giving you the right challenge in your considerations, thinking through your objectives, understand costs and investment opportunities. Their partnership and their counsel along the way was extremely meaningful, and it really does help ease the process for any company that wants to advance.
