What we do
… Economic Problem Solving

Through working with local businesses and communities, the Prairie Innovation Enterprise Region identifies issues affecting the expansion of industries and the development of new industries in the region, then investigates ways to address these issues. PIER evaluates these issues based on the scale and complexity of the problem and the resources required to effectively address it. The delivery of core services include: regional and community marketing; business attraction, retention, and expansion; as well as community economic development with a focus on addressing housing and labour shortages.
