A place to bring great ideas to life

Beaumont’s Innovation Park will be a place for bright minds to pursue bold ideas. The vision is to empower businesses to develop cutting-edge innovation and technology in areas such as:

  • Transportation and logistics
  • Safety
  • Data and technology
  • Education
  • Health and life sciences

With the growing international recognition of the Edmonton Metropolitan Region as Alberta’s innovation centre, the Innovation Park will be a magnet for investment, creating jobs that will drive economic growth for the community, the region, and the province.

In April 2023, the Government of Alberta confirmed that AMTA’s project has cleared several hurdles and that further review can move forward.

The City of Beaumont has developed plans for an Innovation Park on the land south of Highway 625, between Highway 814 and Range Road 241. The Area Structure Plan (ASP) was approved on February 25, 2025 and guides how the land will be used and serviced by utilities, including the transportation network. The plan area lands are designated for a future local employment area in Our Complete Community: Municipal Development Plan (MDP).

A prime location

The Beaumont Innovation Park’s location offers several advantages:

  • Located on Highway 625, a high-load corridor
  • Direct access to the QE2 Highway Alberta’s primary trade corridor
  • Minutes from the Edmonton International Airport
  • Within close reach of the CANAMEX Trade Corridor linking south to the United States and Mexico
  • Nearby rail connections for both CP and CN Rail.

Beaumont is a 30-minute drive to the region’s cultural and business centre in downtown Edmonton, the seat of Alberta’s government, and the University of Alberta – one of the country’s major academic and research institutions. Alberta Innovates and Alberta Machine Intelligence – a world-leading artificial intelligence and machine learning institute – are also within minutes of the city.
