For Business

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