Weekly Roundup - January 19, 2026

London, Ontario is on the rise. In this episode, we break down the latest reports showcasing the city’s accelerating economic growth, from a major retail supercentre planned for 2028 to the rapid expansion of London’s tech and software sectors. We also explore new film incentives fueling the creative economy, community forums tackling sustainable supportive housing, and hands-on workshops helping local businesses get export ready for the U.S. market. Together, it’s a snapshot of a collaborative ecosystem where food, tech, media, and innovation are driving London’s momentum forward.

At LEDC, we believe that tech-led economic development is the key to shaping the future of our industries—including how we share information! That’s why we’re experimenting with AI to bring you a weekly news roundup, generated using Google’s Notebook LM. This AI-powered podcast is based on last week’s updates, helping us explore innovative ways to keep you informed.

While we’re excited about the possibilities, AI isn’t perfect (yet!), and sometimes it might get things a little off. If something doesn’t sound right, let us know—we’re learning right alongside the tech. Want to know more about the tool behind this? Check out Google Notebook LM.
