How Clean Energy, Infrastructure, and Global Partners Are Powering a New Tech Hub

A new era of AI infrastructure is underway in Alberta.  With abundant clean energy, world-class fiber and data center infrastructure, and a collaborative innovation ecosystem, the province is emerging as a strategic home for AI development and deployment.

Why Alberta?

Alberta’s combination of affordable, low-carbon energy and existing industrial infrastructure makes it attractive for large-scale compute workloads. The province’s stable business environment and strategic location as a gateway to North American markets further strengthen its proposition for AI companies looking to scale.

Built-for-AI infrastructure

Purpose-built AI data centers—facilities optimized for high-density GPU compute, low-latency connectivity, and resilient power systems. These centers, combined with fiber routes and peering points, enable global connectivity and efficient AI training and inference workloads.  Alberta’s growing renewable and low-emission electricity supply provides a compelling advantage for companies aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of large-scale compute.  Access to affordable, reliable power is a critical factor for AI infrastructure economics.

Ecosystem and talent

*The province highlights incubators, universities, and innovation hubs that feed talent and research into the ecosystem.

*Collaboration between startups, enterprises, and academic institutions helps bridge research into applied solutions.

Global technology partners

Major global technology providers and regional leaders are partnering with Alberta’s ecosystem — bringing cloud services, enterprise solutions, and investments that accelerate AI adoption. These relationships help anchor the supply chain for compute, data services, and platform tooling.

*Meta's Investment in Alberta

Meta has announced plans to build its first Canadian data center in Sturgeon County, Alberta, representing an investment of over CAD $13 billion. This facility will support the global infrastructure behind Meta’s technologies and programs, serving a user base exceeding 3.5 billion people worldwide. The project is expected to create more than 3,000 construction jobs and approximately 300 permanent positions. Additionally, Meta plans to invest approximately CAD $60 million in local infrastructure improvements, including roads and water infrastructure. (investalberta.ca)
