Small City with Big Ideas
With 130 high-tech companies within the city boundary,
Salmon Arm is a hub for tech and innova on. Recognizing
the exci ng growth poten al within this sector, Salmon
Arm Economic Development Society (SAEDS) launched the
Salmon Arm Innova on Centre Powered by SASCU in 2018.
A coworking space and business accelerator, the Innova on
Centre supports new start-ups, remote workers and growing
businesses that have a connec on to the high-tech sector.
Location. Location. Location.
It's not just access to hundreds of kilometres of pris ne
shoreline that makes Salmon Arm a great place to live
and do business. We're located almost exactly between
Vancouver and Calgary, right on the Trans Canada which
makes proximity to provincial, na onal and interna onal
markets one of our many compe ve advantages.

permit values, with signifi cant growth in residen al
housing construc on.

for individuals making their mark or ge ng their start in the
business world. There's never been a be er me (or place!)
