Alberta’s business-friendly policies, strategic investments and applied research at post-secondary institutions are positioning the province as a fast-growing hub for aerospace, aviation and defence. Building on our connectivity advantages, the establishment of an aerospace innovation hub – along with more than 150 defence-related companies based in Calgary – is helping the sector expand and support continued economic diversification.
Alberta Next brings experienced stakeholders and thought leaders together to discuss the most pressing challenges facing our business community. The series explores how Alberta is uniquely positioned to lead Canada in key sectors through innovation and determination.
