Agriculture
Technology is becoming increasingly infused and embedded in every industry, including agriculture and food through precision farming, crop and livestock genetics, traceability, transportation and logistics, smart manufacturing, and health and safety. We explore what this means to one of Alberta’s back bone industries and how the industry is adapting to be a world leader in food production.
Presented by: ATCO
Energy
For decades Alberta has been developing world class technologies in the energy industry. By leveraging this technology and our highly educated workforce, Alberta can become a global leader in the future of energy production. In the Future of Industry, we look at industry trends and how Alberta is competing on a global scale.
Transportation & Logistics
Calgary as a city may be landlocked, however we play a crucial role in the movement of both domestic and international goods by leveraging trucking, rail and air transport. Technology has changed how goods move and with the world becoming more global, it only makes sense that Calgary has become a hub for inland trade. In the Future of Industry we look at the economic contribution transportation and logistics provide to our economy and how technology is making the industry more efficient and competitive on the global stage.
Tourism
Tourism has faced unsurmountable challenges over the past year, however with grit, innovation and perseverance Alberta’s tourism industry is poised for a strong comeback. In the final edition of the Future of Industry, we explore the economic impact of tourism, how it benefits attracting skilled workers, and how technology is changing the way we connect and interact.
