Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) is here to help. With a national network of more than 100,000 members, CME connects companies to each other and to resources that help them become more competitive. And the Manitoba division calls on its wealth of experience and expertise to recognize, analyze and help members capitalize on new advancements. CME Vice-President Ron Koslowsky says Canada's largest trade and industry association continues to strengthen and expand its core services: providing training and advice to help companies improve productivity; develop human resources; increase sales and access to global markets; and use technology and innovation to create new products and improve existing products. During Manitoba Manufacturing Week, the CME Dare To Compete Conference at RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg on March 25 connects business leaders and experts in every core area. And you'll also see how CME's commitment to continuous improvement is driving a number of new initiatives, with a special focus on its role as a centre for strategic innovation.
