A thriving innovation economy needs more than great ideas, it takes the combined strength of Brains (researchers and talent), Builders (founders and operators), and Boosters (investors, partners, and policymakers).
This conversation will explore how these players are working together to drive momentum across Alberta’s growing innovation ecosystem — and why Edmonton is emerging as a special place to invest. Participants will gain insights into:
How collaboration among talent, startups, and enablers accelerates commercialization and growth
Why investors and venture capitalists are paying attention to Edmonton’s unique mix of talent, research, and entrepreneurial energy
Practical ways to engage with and strengthen the province’s innovation community
