Built Here, Built Together: How Edmonton companies are solving real-world problems together

​Edmonton is home to a growing group of companies building practical technologies to solve real-world problems together.

​

​This FireSide Chat features Nafaa Haddou CEO & Cofounder of FireSafe, Lindsay Mohr CEO & Founder of AIRmarket, Andrea Urbina CEO of ELIXR Simulations and Callie Lissinna VP Strategy & Cofounder of Wyvern with moderation by Tom Viinikka CEO of Edmonton Unlimited to discuss what it takes to grow and scale innovation in Alberta, especially when the work depends on collaboration across sectors, systems, and expertise.

​The discussion will highlight how Edmonton companies are working together to build solutions that are tested in the real world and designed for real operational challenges. From wildfire detection and drone response to earth observation and stronger situational awareness, this is a conversation about innovation with practical impact.

​The wildfire spotlight will anchor the discussion, including the current state of wildfire, what has changed over the last decade, and why the 10-year mark since the Fort McMurray fire is such an important moment for reflection. It will also look at what recent events have made clear: wildfire is not a future problem, and better visibility, earlier intelligence, and stronger coordination all matter.
