PANEL 1 | The New Alberta Advantage; an Access to Capital Stampede | Panelist | 2:05 pm
The New Economy division works closely with staff from across the ASC coordinating efforts to energize Alberta’s capital markets, enhancing public and private capital raising alternatives, including for those focused on the innovation economy. The division also leads the ASC’s inter-departmental team, addressing the intersection of securities law and emerging financial technologies, including through the CSA’s Regulatory Sandbox Committee. A key focus of this division is engaging with market participants to better understand challenges faced by Alberta businesses and to help them navigate the securities regulatory regime and enhance their awareness of relevant initiatives that may assist them.
