For Business

With powerful fundamentals, and a diversified economy that remains strong, Edmonton continues to offer all kinds of dynamic opportunities for investors.

  • Projections indicate overall modest growth for 2009, creating opportunities for managed growth for diverse businesses.
  • The world-wide recession is an opportunity for consolidation here, a cooling of our overheated economy following an incredible rate of growth for several consecutive years.
  • The Greater Edmonton economy is well positioned for substantial growth as the world economy recovers and commodity prices rise.
  • Currently $184.5 billion worth of investments happening in the Edmonton region & things are still going strong.
