We are pleased to announce the publication of the GED Summit 2026 Strategic Outcomes Report, capturing the key insights, partnerships, and actionable recommendations that emerged from the Global Economic Diversification Summit held in Edmonton under the theme “Building Resilient Economies Together.”

The report goes beyond documenting the Summit. It provides a strategic roadmap for governments, businesses, investors, economic development organizations, and communities seeking to build more resilient, inclusive, and future-ready economies.

Key highlights include:

• Why economic diversification is increasingly a strategy for resilience and competitive survival.
• A practical framework for institutionalizing Entrepreneurship as Economic Infrastructure.
• The AI Imperative and the need for human-centered adoption, responsible governance, and SME capacity building.
• Emerging opportunities across Alberta, Africa, the Middle East, and other global growth regions.
• Strategies for strengthening investment attraction, inclusive economic participation, workforce readiness, and relational global trade.
• Outcomes of the GED Council–National Youth Authority of Ghana partnership and a forward-looking action agenda for GED Summit 2027.

The central message is clear: the regions that succeed will be those that move beyond administering programs to orchestrating ecosystems—connecting talent, technology, capital, markets, and partnerships to create sustainable economic value.
