## Resource

In this episode, we’re joined by Robert Sikora of Edmonton Global to explore the intersection of simulation-based healthcare training and economic development. Robert shares how Edmonton’s growing reputation in health and life sciences is driving international interest—and how simulation is becoming a vital pillar in attracting investment and accelerating innovation. We explore: Why global investors and startups are looking to Alberta —and specifically Edmonton —as a rising health and life sciences hub How simulation tools like CAMS at NAIT help companies validate medical devices before going to market The role of risk mitigation, workforce development, and R&D cost savings in choosing a region for innovation The collaborative advantage of Edmonton’s ecosystem—where post-secondaries, industry, and government work in harmony How simulation is reshaping regulatory readiness , product validation, and clinical training What attendees can expect from the upcoming Provincial Simulation Summit on May 7 Learn more at “ Advancing Healthcare through Simulation: A Provincial Summit ” hosted by CAMS at NAIT on May 7 About: NAIT Centre for Advanced Medical Simulation – Visit This series was produced by Road 55 in Edmonton, Alberta – Learn more at: road55.ca
