Promoting Alberta

Brand at work
in international markets

Alberta's new brand will be at work in international markets—part of a new, strenuous effort to market Alberta's story.

The new approach will help get our story through the clutter, attracting the attention
of potential investors, tourists and talent
we need, and supporting the sales of Alberta goods and services abroad.

When Premier Ed Stelmach travels to Europe this spring, he'll bring the Alberta story with newspaper advertisements and trade displays to encourage investment in our province.

In May, the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston will attract more than 75,000 energy professionals from 110 countries.
We'll be there to market our unique expertise and talent.
