forward/slash summit will bring the Edmonton region together to unite behind a powerful vision for our economic future.
About us
On November 2nd, 2023, Edmonton Global will host the second-annual forward/slash. The planning of this event includes collaboration with more than 40 regional organizations and stakeholders. The purpose of Edmonton Global is to radically transform and grow the economy of the Edmonton Metropolitan Region – but we can’t do it alone. When we look at other jurisdictions around the world, like Singapore, Austin or others that were able to accomplish the transformation of their economy, it required all of the leadership from across their community to come together and work collaboratively to affect change. This event is a recognition that transformative requires collective action, and an invitation to join us in this movement. Forward/Slash will bring together regional leaders from across the Edmonton Metropolitan Region to purposefully, proactively, and inclusively build towards a thriving future for our region’s economy. One of the goals of the summit is to build awareness of the activities that are happening across a range of diverse sectors in the Edmonton region. When we look at what’s happening in hydrogen, food and agriculture, the life sciences, AI and tech, and global logistics and supply chain, there’s good reason to be optimistic about our region’s future. We want to amplify the stories of what’s happening here and begin a movement where we work together to support these activities well into the future.

DISCOVER: The Edmonton region’s Food and Agriculture Sector 🌽🌾 What makes this sector so great? The Edmonton Metropolitan Region’s food and agriculture sector is built on a foundation of excellence in sustainable practices. As a region that includes both a large urban centre and 2.4 million acres of fertile farmland, the sector is both rural and urban, traditional and high-tech, and includes a strong research and development ecosystem. Here are some highlights: 💫 The Edmonton region can feed the world – We’re one of the few places in the world that produces more food than it consumes. 💫There has not been a region-wide crop failure in over 100 years. 💫Canada is the largest producer of pulse crops and accounts for a quarter of the world's supply of dry peas. The Alberta advantage extends here with the province having the highest yields of dry peas, faba beans and oats in Canadian prairies. 💫Our cold climate is a competitive advantage! It helps control pests, reduces reliance on pesticides and harsh chemicals, and combats high temperatures that are oppressive to crops. #forwardslashYEG #YEG #Agriculture #FoodandAG #Crops #Valueaddedag #Edmontonregion #Yeggers #YEGnews
