#YYCTECH is growing because of the community. 🥰😎
Calgary’s tech scene is emerging as one of the most important in Canada. Since 2021:
📈 Tech talent grew 61%
💸 $8 billion added to ecosystem value
🧠 New momentum in #AI, neurotech & cleantech

The 15th-anniversary Calgary Innovation Week showed how far the city has come.

Canada is in what AI minister Evan Solomon has called a “crisis moment” around AI. That’s why Ottawa is investing $9M to help Amii train nearly 5,000 energy sector workers in AI skills.

Clean energy, AI tools, and skilled people = future competitiveness.

0.5-0.8%. When you take a step back it’s striking how much of the discussion about the carbon tax in Canada - the easiest and least intrusive environmental policy intervention available, more or less, which conservatives say drives up food prices - is predicated on a total lie.
How do carbon taxes affect food prices? In our latest paper, @dr_jen_winter and I analyze both direct and indirect impacts across the entire food supply chain: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5024885

It's the most detailed exploration of CTaxes and food yet! 🤓 #cdnecon #cdnpoli
