SAN FRANCISCO—Salesforce will invest $2.5 billion in its Canadian business over the next five years, the enterprise software company announced Thursday, the same day Justin Trudeau visited its Silicon Valley headquarters. The San Francisco, Calif.-based cloud computing and customer relations management company said it will increase its head count, real estate footprint and data centre capacity to support its growing customer base north of the border. Salesforce currently employs more than 1,300 Canadians and more than 6,000 local companies use its services. It has been interested in expanding its international workforce to reach potential customers overseas. The company would not say how many jobs it would create through the investment.
