Minister of Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration Joseph Schow, Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation Tara Sawyer and Minister of Technology and Innovation Nate Glubish are joining Premier Danielle Smith at the summit, alongside representatives from the Invest Alberta Corporation and the Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo). During the summit, Team Alberta will meet with more than 100 of the world's largest investors from global capital firms, representing a combined total investment pool of more than $50 trillion.
Team Alberta will promote the province’s strong business and investment climate, highlight shovel-ready projects and build relationships with institutional investors seeking to deploy capital that will drive growth and prosperity in the province. Alberta’s economy is expanding rapidly with opportunities for partnership in responsible energy development and critical minerals, emissions management, carbon capture and storage, value-added agriculture and forestry, life sciences, aerospace and defence, artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing and technology.
“Alberta is thrilled to join in welcoming partners from around the globe to the inaugural Canada Investment Summit. This summit is an opportunity to sit down directly with some of the world’s largest investors and show them why Alberta is one of the best places in the world to put their capital to work. We’re going to keep competing for investment that creates jobs, grows our economy and delivers new opportunities for Albertans.”
“Alberta has the skills, workforce, resources, land and regulatory environment the world needs. Our province is the economic engine of Canada, which means when Alberta wins, Canada wins. As our team engages with some of the biggest investors in the world, we are proud to showcase what our province has to offer, and what makes us stand out as the best place to do business.”
“Alberta farmers, ranchers and producers are among the best in the world, backed by abundant land, high-quality products and a strong reputation in global markets. From agriculture and agri-food to value-added processing, Alberta has tremendous opportunities for investors looking to grow alongside an industry that knows how to compete and deliver.”
“Alberta has built one of the most exciting technology and innovation sectors in Canada, with particular strengths in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. We’re taking that story directly to global investors and showing them why Alberta has the talent, research expertise and business environment to turn new ideas into growing companies, good jobs and investment right here in our province.”
“Alberta is entering this summit with a strong project pipeline and investment opportunities that align with global demand. From energy and critical minerals to technology and value-added industries, Alberta offers investors the scale, talent and certainty needed to succeed. We are excited to work alongside Team Alberta to showcase why the province continues to be one of the most attractive places in the world to invest.”
Alberta boasts a strong value proposition for global partners looking for a secure, stable place to invest, thanks to the province’s world-class expertise, abundant resources and track record of delivering major projects with big returns.
