Investment Attraction

Alberta is one of the most attractive investment opportunity zones in all of North America. In fact, the investment climate here is one of the most appealing in the world. The urban economy has led the nation for a decade, and is expected to continue to do so in the future. 

Alberta offers Canada’s most favourable, business-friendly tax structure: the country’s lowest overall personal and corporate income tax levels, no payroll tax, no inventory or capital tax, and no sales tax. The general tax in Alberta is 10%, 3.5% lower than the National average of 13.5%.

Compared to other major Canadian cities, Calgary has the youngest and most affluent population, the most productive workforce, and retail sales growth that consistently leads the nation. Other areas of Southern Alberta are also affluent and attractive to foreign investors.

An important function of the Global Business Centre is to support foreign in exploring available opportunities for investment in Southern Alberta. We help investors establish a local presence, including assisting in finding suitable space, recruiting staff and organizing an industry launch event.

We also connect the investing company with targeted Southern Alberta opportunities, industry associations, strategic partners and senior level government policy-makers.
