A new report by ATB Financial and the Business Data Lab at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce reveals Alberta's tech sector is surging—with $13 billion in GDP contribution, rapid job creation, and record-breaking venture capital investment. Tech employment has grown nearly four times faster than the rest of the province, and venture capital spending has tripled since 2019.
This innovation boom is reshaping real estate demand in Calgary, from office space for high-growth startups to industrial needs for advanced manufacturing and tech-based logistics. As AgriTech, FinTech, HealthTech, and AerospaceTech gain momentum alongside EnergyTech, commercial landlords and developers must consider how Alberta’s evolving economy is influencing space requirements and long-term asset value.
