Business in Calgary and Economic Development
The city of Calgary is aptly branded with the slogan “Be Part of the Energy,” which represents the economic significance of its energy industry as well as its position as a vibrant urban and progressive cosmopolitan centre that attracts business and a talented workforce.
From a highly educated workforce to the low cost of doing business and excellent quality of life, Calgary offers an unrivaled opportunity for companies to invest or build their business. The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Calgary the fifth most livable city in the world every year from 2008 to 2017. In 2018, Calgary attained fourth place overall, and most livable city in North America based on factors such as stability, infrastructure, education, health care, and environment.
Calgary has experienced one of the highest rates of economic and population growth in North America between 1997 and 2017. According to Statistics Canada and the 2016 Census Profile—Calgary’s population is 1,392,609—while Forbes Magazine cites Calgary as the world’s third fastest-growing city. With data based on a 2017 Statistics Canada report, Calgary’s economic output (real GDP), driven primarily by a globally significant energy industry, has increased by 97%.
The energy industry is the leading driver of Calgary’s economy and has been for decades. Statistics Canada 2016 reveals the oil and gas sector accounted for approximately 46,000 jobs in Calgary. Calgary Economic Development reports that Canada is one of the top producers of crude oil and natural gas in the world with every major energy company in the country headquartered in Calgary. (In fact, Calgary has the highest national ranking of head office concentration per capita in Canada according to FP500, 2018 edition). There is a highly integrated ecosystem linking talent, capital and policy that make Calgary a global centre of excellence in all things energy.
Transportation & logistics and agribusiness are considered established clusters, while supporting companies in the fields of professional services, technical, manufacturing, financial and construction are rapidly becoming their own viable industries. Emerging and growth clusters also include tourism, creative industries and life sciences/public health. These established and emerging key industries create an increasingly broad and balanced range of jobs that adds to the city’s prosperity. Projections estimate that Calgary’s economy will create as many as 244,000 new jobs over the next decade.
Calgary is a business-friendly place that offers multiple financial advantages for companies to operate, based on competitive assessment of 22 similar cities across capital flow, cost-effectiveness and corporate influence as reported by Calgary Economic Development.
When considering growth or relocation, businesses are concerned with fees, permit requirements, licensing processes and approval timelines. The City of Calgary understands that a competitive, business-friendly environment will help small, medium and large enterprises thrive.
