Our economy is more diversified than ever, and that will lead to more opportunity and prosperity for all Albertans. My good friend RJ Sigurdson is leading the charge in agriculture, with McCain Foods, The Little Potato Company LtdAlberta Milk GoodLeaf Farms, NewCold, and more expanding in our agricultural sector, we are seeing more investment and growth than ever before. We're seeing new aviation growth with De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited, Wyvern, and others all growing in the space, with more to come with investments from NATO and their NATO DIANA test site. Technology continues to boom, and as my colleague Nate Glubish says, technology is the future of every industry. We're particularly seeing growth in financial technology, with Neo Financial, Helcim, Symend and more reaching new heights in Calgary, but also in the AI space with Attabotics and others. Alberta continues to be a global leader in the energy transition, and my colleagues Brian Jean and Rebecca Schulz doing everything they can to tell our story around the world. As Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) does their work, and we see major investments from companies like Shell, Dow, Air Products, ATCO and more in new technology we will only continue to lead the way.

ICYMI: The Edmonton Region is ready to become a leader in semiconductor manufacturing! 🇨🇦 The global #semiconductor (or #chip) shortage highlighted the importance of the industry — and the importance of keeping the supply chain uninterrupted. Our region boasts a strong tech sector, a skilled workforce, and the nanoFAB facility — a hub for semiconductor development and manufacturing. With government support, the Edmonton Region could become a major player in this critical field. 🚀 “Having the homegrown manufacturing capabilities for these high technology components [like chips] is critically important,” Eric Flaim, director of nanoFAB at the University of Alberta, said. “Making an investment into [semiconductor production] locally, can put you on the map globally, as a place where this kind of work can be done.” To read more about the Edmonton Region’s potential in semiconductor manufacturing, click here: https://ow.ly/myzS50StZoA Nate Glubish Matthew O'Connell Christina Bilyk Kris Barker Paul Bakhmut TransEON Inc.
