Calgary Economic Development says innovation is key for the city to fully move beyond its recent economic challenges, which include unemployment and lots and lots of empty offices.
"Although we have had strong GDP growth last year, and modest GDP growth predicted for the next couple of years, we still have some big economic issues," the group's president and CEO Mary Moran told The Homestretch on Thursday.
"We still have 13 million square-feet of office space available, and we still have the highest unemployment in the country."
