Economic Ecosystems: Do We Have Them in Saskatchewan—or Are We Ready to Build Them?

**What if Saskatchewan already has everything it needs to build one of Canada's strongest economies?** Maybe the real question **isn't what we're missing**—it's whether we're connecting the pieces. Do we have **economic ecosystems in Saskatchewan**—or are we ready to build them? Across Canada, a new way of thinking about economic development is taking hold. It's called an **economic ecosystem,** and it **challenges us to look beyond** individual projects and communities to the systems that create long-term prosperity. In this episode of **Paths to Prosperity,** we explore what economic ecosystems really are. If you're passionate about stronger communities, regional collaboration, and **Saskatchewan's future**, this episode will challenge the way you think about **economic development**. ***Paths to Prosperity*** is a platform for exploring how communities can build **resilient, inclusive, and future‑ready economies**. Through thought leadership, practical insights, and conversations with leaders from across Saskatchewan and beyond, **Paths to Prosperity** examines the forces shaping local and regional economies—and the choices communities can make to navigate change with confidence. Our focus is on **what works**, **what’s emerging**, and **what leaders should be thinking about now**.
