About This Event:

Launched in September 2010, the International Ambassadors Program (IAP) is a network comprised of local business leaders and decision makers who have an active interest in supporting the foreign direct investment initiatives of Central Alberta: Access Prosperity, a regional collaborative initiative of Red Deer Regional Economic Development (RDRED) and Central Alberta Economic Partnership (CAEP).

International Ambassadors support the foreign direct investment initiative by promoting the Central Alberta region when an international company expresses an interest in expanding into the region.  Participating local businesses also benefit as the International Ambassador Program serves as an additional stream for new international business, partnership and value chain opportunities.

Central Alberta: Access Prosperity is funded in part by Community Futures Central Alberta, supported by Western Economic Diversification Canada.

This particular International Ambassadors event would not have been made possible without the unbridled enthusiasm and support from Ponoka Economic Development
