On behalf of the Government of Alberta, it is my pleasure to send greetings to readers of the 2021 edition of Invest in Alberta magazine.

There is little doubt that this period in Alberta’s history will be remembered as one of the toughest we have ever experienced. Between the COVID-19 pandemic and the collapse of world energy prices, adversity has forced us all to rise to the challenge. As we find our feet once more, we are extending that same culture of resilience to our economic recovery.

Bold action is required to bring prosperity back to our province, and Alberta’s Recovery Plan is focused on three pillars: creating jobs, building infrastructure that spurs growth, and diversifying our economy. Creating an attractive environment for investment will ensure that Alberta is poised to take advantage of every future opportunity. We are building on our existing strengths, and we will continue to give the world many reasons to do business in our province.

Thank you to Economic Developers Alberta for the support the organization provides to members and Alberta’s communities. Together, I know we can overcome adversity and thrive once more.
