According to the Conference Board of Canada, the Saskatoon region has one of the most diversified economies in Canada.

Mining, energy, and agriculture dominate the economic landscape, creating demand for local metal goods and machinery for production, and providing the raw materials for the food processing sector.

International cost compeitiveness and expansion of local goods production is also creating opportunities for the transporation and distribution industry, as 85% of local manufacturers export globally.

While these traditional sectors provide a solid base for growth in the region, advanced research and development facilities are helping create opportunities in new industries.  Innovation is creating growth in manufacturing and life science sectors.
