Regional Collaboration The City of Peterborough is actively expanding regional economic collaboration, as shown by the June 2026 launch of the PADC pairing municipalities, industry, academia, and government partners. This signals a strong opportunity to pitch cross-sector tech, data, and infrastructure solutions that support regional growth and stakeholder alignment.

Visitor Experience Growth New visitor center openings and tourism infrastructure upgrades indicate rising demand for digital engagement, wayfinding, and visitor analytics. There is potential to offer turnkey hospitality tech, CRM for tourism partners, and mobile engagement platforms to enhance resident and visitor experiences.

Digital Modernization The city employs modern collaboration and GIS tools (SharePoint, Office 365, Azure, Teams, ArcGIS) suggesting readiness for expanded cloud, cybersecurity, data management, and GIS-enabled services. Opportunities exist for security audits, cloud optimization, and data analytics solutions.

Public Safety & Mobility Development of a 15-year Transportation Safety Program signals ongoing investments in smart mobility and road safety. This creates openings for traffic analytics, smart signage, incident management platforms, and shared data partnerships with local agencies.

Public Finance & Governance Leadership changes in Financial Services and ongoing municipal operations indicate a need for modern governance tools, financial planning software, and procurement modernization. Potential fits include ERP enhancements, budgeting analytics, and secure communications for public sector finance.
