Alberta premier says Medicine Hat has potential to be a technology hub
Premier Danielle Smith said Thursday that Medicine Hat and the area around it has the potential to become a hub for data centres and remote workers, an opportunity that could define the future of industry in the region.
“With integrated power production, electricity production, natural gas; you have the ability to be the lowest-cost provider of both electricity and heating in the entire province,” Smith said.
Those local advantages can attract companies building power-hungry servers and even the AI industry, Smith told business and political leaders during a luncheon hosted by the Southeast Alberta Chamber of Commerce.
