WTC Toronto — Growth Development Program

For Ontario-based small and mid-sized businesses that know AI could drive smarter decisions but aren’t sure where to start, the WTC Toronto Growth Development Program offers a practical path forward. Rather than generic training, this program is built for C-suite leaders who want to translate innovation into real operational and growth outcomes. Delivered by World Trade Centre Toronto, it focuses on helping executives move from curiosity about AI to confident, informed implementation within their own organizations.

The six-month, cohort-based experience combines in-person workshops with virtual mentoring, making it manageable for busy senior leaders. Participants work alongside a small group of peers, industry facilitators, and subject-matter experts to explore, test, and refine AI use cases tied to real business challenges. The emphasis is on strategy and execution, covering areas like governance, people, data, and technology, so businesses leave with an implementation-ready roadmap rather than abstract ideas. Peer collaboration and confidential discussion are central to the experience, giving leaders exposure to how others are tackling similar growth and transformation challenges.

Designed for innovative SMEs in Ontario that are committed to professional development and long-term growth, the Growth Development Program is currently accepting participants for upcoming cohorts. Business owners and executives interested in understanding how this program could support their AI and leadership goals may want to explore the full details before applying.
