Calgary, Eight Municipalities Launch Pilot Economic Hub Program

Calgary Economic Development has introduced a real-time Economic Snapshot tool that consolidates key data such as labor force activity, GDP, and population growth to provide a comprehensive view of Calgary's evolving economy, emphasizing its growing workforce, young population, and economic diversification. Complementing this, the Invest Greater Calgary (IGC) pilot program unites Calgary with eight surrounding municipalities to strengthen regional identity and attract global investment by sharing data, aligning outreach, and promoting a unified vision. This collaboration aims to enhance regional economic development through shared research, marketing, investor support, and program development, while allowing municipalities to maintain local priorities. Additionally, the City of Calgary is engaging in programs and partnerships focused on improving building performance in cost-effective ways, supporting overall economic and community development. These initiatives collectively showcase Calgary's strategic efforts to foster inclusive growth, innovation, and investment in the region.
