Engagement has concluded
Overview
“We will develop a northern manufacturing strategy in collaboration with industry and the NWT’s Manufacturers’ Association to expand the manufacturing sector, identify potential areas of growth, promote and market products manufactured in the NWT and aid in the professional and technological advancement of the industry.”
Mandate of the Government of the Northwest Territories 2016-2019
There is a wealth of talent and ingenuity within the Northwest Territories manufacturing community.
We’re now ready to engage with industry, government, members of the public, and other stakeholders to inform a strategy designed to foster an environment where this talent and ingenuity can build a strong manufacturing sector for the NWT.
Take part in the discussion forums below and share your input on other topics related to manufacturing in the comment section to have your say and inform a manufacturing strategy the NWT can be proud of.

For the purposes of the Northern
Manufactured Products Policy (NMPP), manufacturing is defined as the
transformation of materials or substances into new products. Assembly is considered manufacturing when one
or more of the major component parts are manufactured in the manufacturer’s NWT
facility. The manufactured product must
be product specific and is an item that is regularly stocked or part of a
catalogue of items. The manufactured
product must be produced in their NWT facility.
While the types of infrastructure
required to support various manufacturing businesses and industry may vary,
generally speaking, the following types are seen as important:
·Presence of industrial supply wholesalers;
·Suitable roads, bridges, airports and harbours (transportation
infrastructure);
·Reasonably priced, accessible and reliable electricity;
·Reasonably priced and accessible telecommunications and internet
services; and
·Municipal systems such as public water and sewer systems and waste
disposal facilities.
Product differentiation is a critical element for manufacturers
to develop a competitive advantage. Keeping
costs down through process innovation supports competitive pricing. Ongoing
product, service and manufacturing method improvements are necessary for the
long-term health of manufacturing in the NWT.
