Wine Wednesday with Brad Parry

InterGen invites you to an evening of wine, conversation, and bold ideas with Brad Parry, President & CEO of Calgary Economic Development and CEO of the Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund (OCIF).

With a recent $60 million top-up to OCIF, Calgary is doubling down on its commitment to scale local businesses and attract high-impact investment. In this fireside chat with InterGen’s CEO Sandi Gilbert, Brad will share how this renewed funding is accelerating innovation across sectors - and what it means for entrepreneurs, founders, and investors in our city.

We'll also dive into the announcement that Calgary has been selected as the home of Canada’s first XPRIZE Hub, further cementing its reputation as a global destination for cutting-edge research, technology, and collaboration.
