EVENT ALERT: Join us on March 3rd for an information webinar about HR Tech Group, a non-profit association for HR, People and Culture professionals in Alberta’s tech sector. Details here.
From artificial intelligence to clean energy, Alberta’s broad tech scope is contributing to a diversified economy, cleaner and sustainable environment, and healthier communities.
Advanced technology is the third-largest industry driving Alberta’s economy. In 2015, the province’s ICT industry generated $15.6 billion in revenues. In 2015, over 7 percent of businesses in Alberta were in the technology sector, the second-highest proportion in Canada (source: Brookfield Institute The State of Canada’s Tech Sector 2016).
According to CBRE Limited’s annual study scoring Canadian cities on how they appeal to tech workers and companies, Edmonton’s burgeoning tech industry has seen a 26% increase in jobs since 2014. Adding more than 5,800 tech jobs in the past five years, Edmonton has moved into 10th spot in CBRE Limited’s annual study. Calgary is in 6th spot on the list.
