Minister Deron Bilous provided an update to the forthcoming “Alberta Investor Tax Credit” yesterday (September 29, 2016) in a Press conference and press release; link to source in image below:
It may just be political expediency but the continued language about “small business” is concerning on a number of levels.
-
The largest, fastest wealth creation, growth, and job creation globally over the past two decades is driven by technology innovation, not “small business.”
2. The phenomenal success of the British Columbia Investor tax credit is due to a focus on technology and the new economy.
3. The “new”, “Internet” economy is growing at eight times the rate of the traditional economy.
Thanks Trent. Very good point and references. We need to grow scalable technology-based businesses. Alberta has smart scientists, engineers, technologists, creatives etc. but needs more tech entrepreneurs, explorers, visionaries and risk-takers.
thanks Lynn, nice to hear from you.
