Nine ambitious, highly-innovative Alberta companies with their sights set on pushing into new global markets took home awards last week honouring their commitment to international growth and continued expansion across the province at the 2017 Alberta Export Awards.

Thank you to Alberta Export Awards and partners who continue to support us along this journey of growth. Thank you to the Solex team for your continued forward thinking, never settling for today’s solutions but striving for tomorrow’s.”

Eight other companies distanced themselves from a competitive field of more than 20 semi-finalists to earn Alberta Export Awards in a diverse set of categories, including Agriculture Food and Beverage, Oil and Gas — Service and Supply, Consumer Products, Manufacturing, Advanced Technology and Innovation, Professional Services and Leadership.
