Industry Profile

As increasing investment demonstrates, the international community has begun to realize Saskatchewan possesses an advantage in the energy, resource, and environmental markets. Not only is the province is a world leader in uranium, but it is also the seventh largest oil supplier to the US and a key partner in clean energy research, as well.  Due to these factors, Saskatchewan is destined to play a very important role in North American energy and resource supply. 

Energy is becoming an increasingly important part of the Saskatoon region’s economy. Home to two of the largest uranium companies, Cameco and France’s AREVA Resources Canada Inc., the city’s geographical location will position it as key site for energy companies in the future.

As the commercial centre of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon is an excellent place for companies to travel to mining and extraction locations by either air or ground.

Research and development facilities such as the Canadian Light Source and Innovation Place are excellent examples of the infrastructure local companies can access to increase productivity and lead innovation in their industry.
