Calgary Economic Development is a conduit, connector, catalyst, and storyteller for the city of Calgary. Promoting Calgary as the location of choice for people, investment and business, our work is rooted in positioning Calgary for long-term economic success and shared prosperity for all. We deliver services and initiatives focused on growing and developing across our key sectors.
CED brings a unique lens to Calgary’s economic landscape and long-term opportunities. Uplook, Calgary’s economic action plan, aligns closely with the Enough for All poverty reduction strategy, particularly through its focus on livability, talent, and Indigenous Reconciliation.
As Enough for All Champions, CED recognizes that poverty reduction and inclusion are foundational to shared prosperity and a healthy, vibrant city. Central to Uplook is the belief that all Calgarians should have equitable opportunities to contribute to and benefit from economic growth. By championing Enough for All and embracing bold, systems-level thinking, CED advances its goal of building economic resilience and opportunity for all residents, while connecting business, government, and community partners around shared prosperity.
