As an economic development professional you have a complex and challenging job in today’s global economy.

I am pleased to announce Economic Developers Alberta now has a new tool available to help you with the demands of attracting, retaining and growing businesses in your region.

It’s called the “Investment Readiness Toolkit.” It was developed by EDA in partnership with the Province of Alberta and the Government of Canada.

This Toolkit provides you with frameworks and practices to manage familiarization tours and other aspects of investment attraction.

The Toolkit will also help you identify investment readiness gaps, develop new or improved economic development processes and expand capacity for your community to attract, receive and successfully explore investment opportunities.

Download your copy of the Toolkit by following this link; and you will see how valuable this resource document is for economic development professionals in today’s competitive environment.



Sincerely,

-Kent McMullin, EDA President
