Alberta’s energy industry contributes billions of dollars to Alberta’s economy and plays a vital role in the global responsible energy supply.
Premier Danielle Smith, Minister of Energy and Minerals Brian Jean, and other government officials will attend the Global Energy Show from June 10 to 12 to welcome international delegates and promote Alberta’s responsible energy development. Their participation will focus on strengthening Alberta’s position as a trusted energy partner, advancing investment opportunities, and highlighting the province’s role in reducing global energy poverty through secure, sustainable supply.
With current geopolitical challenges, Alberta’s role in energy security has never been more important for Canada’s stability and that of our trading partners, particularly in North America and Asia.
“Alberta's energy industry has been built from the ground up by innovative minds who saw opportunity where others see challenges – and they continue to do so today. Thanks to this ingenuity, Alberta has risen in the global ranks as an energy powerhouse with an equally strong environmental record. With global demand for energy security at an all-time high, Alberta stands ready to provide the solutions our partners need.”
“The world needs reliable, responsible and affordable energy from a producer they can trust. Alberta’s vast resources are positioned to meet long-term energy demand and will be key in obtaining North American and global energy security and helping defeat energy poverty. We intend to showcase this to attendees from all over the world at this year’s Global Energy Show.”
While at the Global Energy Show, Premier Smith and Minister Jean will meet with international officials and business leaders to promote Alberta’s energy sector and vast resource base. Their discussions will focus on strengthening Alberta’s position as a reliable resource partner, identifying new opportunities to meet evolving energy needs, and reducing global reliance on energy from conflict zones.
“As Canada’s largest international energy gathering, the event will address critical issues including energy security, affordability, access and investment. With delegates from over 100 countries, Calgary will highlight Canada’s leadership in shaping the future of energy at home and globally.”
The conference is an annual event in Calgary, the heart of Canada’s energy sector, and will take place at the BMO Centre with numerous panels, keynote speakers and opportunities for delegates to network.
