About us

Platform Calgary is a non-profit, member based organization. Our mandate is to bring together the resources of Calgary's tech ecosystem to help startups launch and grow at every step of their journey, from ideation through to scale.

Behind every great innovator is a great community. The Platform Innovation Centre is Calgary's home for innovators and a single point of access for people as they navigate Calgary’s tech sector.

2022 was a year of launches for Platform Calgary. The Platform Innovation Centre, Calgary’s new home for innovators opened in June, new programs were launched, dozens of partnerships were formed, and thousands of people gathered at dynamic events. We’re reflecting on an amazing year and the continued momentum driving the growth of tech and innovation in Calgary.

Our Strategy

We know that a thriving tech ecosystem accelerates startup growth, and we've seen how it works in other cities around the world. Our advantage?
