Department of Economic Development

Our mandate is to develop a thriving, prosperous and diversified Yukon economy to enrich the quality of life of all Yukoners. This means working with First Nations, business and industry partners, and the federal and municipal governments to: broaden our economic base; build local capacity; and encourage the competitiveness of new and existing businesses and services. Our investments support sustainable job creation for Yukoners, innovative approaches to existing and new industries, increased investment opportunities, market expansion outside Yukon, and business and industry growth.
