Why Alberta

As part of Canada’s globally respected brand of stability, innovation, and sustainability, Alberta stands out as a powerhouse province driving national progress across key industries. Long known as the energy capital of Canada, Alberta has built a global reputation for solving complex challenges — and today, it’s leading Canada’s energy transition with some of the country’s most abundant renewable resources, including wind, solar, bioenergy, and geothermal. 

Alberta’s contributions go far beyond energy. As global demand for food security and sustainable production rises, Alberta’s agriculture sector is pioneering agri-tech solutions that increase yields and improve energy efficiency — advancing Canada’s leadership in sustainable agri-food systems. Alberta’s technology sector is also surging, with a goal of securing $100 billion in data centre investment by 2030. Alberta is home to the soon-to-open Calgary Cancer Centre, the second-largest comprehensive cancer care and research facility in North America, underscoring Canada’s commitment to health innovation and world-class care.

Aligned with Canada’s national innovation strategy, Alberta is a growing hub for emerging technologies, from remotely piloted aircraft systems and quantum computing to Artificial Intelligence. Future-focused and resilient, Alberta plays a vital role in shaping Canada’s global competitiveness and sustainable growth.
