Alberta has always been one of the premier economic engines of Canada. Building great national and international companies is in our DNA. That’s what we do. But now we’re at a key turning point in our province’s history - we can go forward, or we can stall. But we can’t go backwards.

Alberta’s next-generation economy.

InterGen was founded on a simple belief: the experience that helped make Alberta an economic leader can help build the companies that will define what comes next. Alberta has a deep well of business talent, and InterGen connects that expertise with scale-up companies shaping the next-generation economy.

Connecting entrepreneurs with experienced talent.

Our team is committed to accelerating the growth and scale of high-potential Alberta companies by pairing them with business talent that are committed to our province’s future. We match them through our InterGen Connect technology platform and support them with educational offerings, training and roundtables featuring entrepreneurs, investors and industry experts.

It Started with the Top 7 Over 70™.

We are proud to be part of the Top 7 Over 70™ Gala, an awards program that recognizes individuals who have launched new ventures or initiatives after the age of 70.

Since its inception, the gala has celebrated the ongoing economic and entrepreneurial contributions of older adults and reinforced the importance of intergenerational entrepreneurship - one of InterGen’s core principles. To date, five Top 7 Over 70™ Galas have been held, with the most recent taking place in 2025.
