Innovate Calgary recently held its 17th  annual Techstock tradeshow.<\/span>

This year proved its largest with over 60 exhibitors and 400 visitors.  <\/span>This year’s theme focused on social enterprise and using that to drive change.<\/span>

Tara Barnas is Director of Communications and Marketing for Innovate Calgary.<\/span>

TARA BARNAS:<\/span>  So we define social enterprise as an organization that applies commercial strategies to maximize improvements to human and environmental wellbeing.  This can include social impact alongside for-profits, for external shareholders all the way through for sustainable operational processes.  So we’ve encouraged all exhibitors within Techstock this year to be working in a particular space within sustainable development goals.<\/span><\/span>  <\/span>

Tara hopes this year’s Techstock raises awareness that Calgary is a hub of innovation and creativity<\/span>

TARA BARNAS:<\/span> We’re not just oil and gas here in our city.  We have lots of great brilliant minds that are creating sustainable businesses that can be for profit or not for profit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
