During Innovation Week, from November 13-21, we're shining a spotlight on the corporations, startups, innovators and investors that are taking bold steps forward - because we think more Calgarians need to know the amazing things going on in their own backyard.

This year we're going all in! With the Platform Innovation Centre as the headquarters, and events all across the city, we aim to celebrate and showcase the momentum and community-wide embrace of technology and innovation as a way to grow our economy, create jobs, transform industries, and create a better future and city for everyone. Calgary - the blue sky city - is truly all in on tech and innovation!
