International Profile
One of the Alberta government’s top five priorities is to build a stronger Alberta. That means going on international missions to raise the profile of Alberta’s advanced education and technology sectors on the world stage.
Led by the Minister and typically involving a delegation of academic, industry, investment, and government representatives, missions help to open global doors, stimulates new international opportunities, and establishes Alberta as a knowledge-intensive jurisdiction that encourages and supports the sharing and transfer of knowledge and technology with international partners.
International missions often result in:
New or strengthened relationships with international post-secondary institutions, leading to new post-secondary education and training opportunities.
Signed agreements with other jurisdictions or industry partners, helping to strengthen ties and encouraging a better exchange of researchers, students and business opportunities.
Strategic partnerships, helping to commercialize Alberta technologies and attract investments and advanced through meetings with venture capitalists and executives of high-technology companies.
Increased profile within the local expatriate community, helping to attract investment and skilled professionals to Alberta and achieved through organized events.
