It examines the top 50 North American markets and measures their ability to attract and develop tech talent. (Bryan Labby/CBC) Calgary continues to climb in the rankings of North America's tech hot spots, jumping six spots to 28 in a field of 50 cities examined by commercial real estate and investment firm CBRE. Calgary joined Los Angeles/Orange County and Detroit with the biggest year-over-year leap in the survey's rankings. The climb occurred during the global pandemic, suggesting the tech sector was somewhat immune from the crisis that led to tens of thousands of job losses in Alberta.
