Friends of Calgary Evening Reception at Invest Canada 2026

​Join us for an evening of connection, conversation, and Calgary‑style hospitality at the Friends of Calgary Evening Reception, hosted by Calgary Economic Development and the Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund.

​

​This relaxed cocktail reception brings together investors, fund leaders, and ecosystem builders who are curious to learn more and mingle with Calgary’s fast‑growing technology and innovation ecosystem. From early‑stage startups to global scale‑ups, Calgary is quickly emerging as one of North America’s fastest-growing startup ecosystems, a place where ambitions are matched with access to talent, ideas, customers, and opportunity - and where it’s possible to build and scale global solutions.

​

​Guests are invited to mix and mingle with peers from across the country while enjoying hors d’oeuvres, evening libations, and our signature Blue Sky City cocktail. There is no formal program or presentation, just thoughtful conversations and the chance to connect with others who are shaping the future of innovation, investment, and entrepreneurship.

​

​Whether you’re already investing in Calgary or simply interested in learning more about the Blue Sky City, we look forward to welcoming you and sharing what makes this a city where big ideas take shape.
