AI Consultant for Edmonton and Edmonton Metropolitan Region Mid-Market CEOs
AI Savvy provides strategic AI advisory to Edmonton and Edmonton Metropolitan Region CEOs of $10M–$250M companies.

Shawn Moore travels to Edmonton on request; most engagements combine one to two on-site visits with weekly video cadence.
Why Edmonton Metropolitan Region mid-market is at an AI inflection point
Edmonton is home to the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) and a diversifying industrial economy, and its mid-market is in the middle of an uneven AI inflection. RSM's 2025 Middle Market AI Survey found 91% of mid-market organizations across the US and Canada now use generative AI in operations, while Microsoft's June 2025 Canadian SMB Report put national adoption at 71% — with 90% adoption among digital-native firms.
Edmonton's AI story is anchored by Amii — one of Canada's three federally designated AI institutes — and the University of Alberta's globally ranked reinforcement learning research. Around that research bench sits a mid-market industrial economy in energy, agri-food, forestry, and public sector delivery.
What we do for Edmonton companies
Alberta-specific considerations
PIPA Alberta governs private-sector data handling. Provincial health, education, and municipal AI use cases require additional public-sector privacy assessments before deployment.
Edmonton's technical bench is unusually strong for a market its size, but executive AI ownership at the mid-market CEO layer remains thin — Amii graduates land in Toronto and San Francisco faster than they land in Edmonton mid-market companies.
How we work with Edmonton clients
Most Edmonton engagements run on a hybrid cadence: on-site working sessions when scope warrants, weekly video steering meetings, and async document review between sessions. Shawn Moore travels to Edmonton on request; most engagements combine one to two on-site visits with weekly video cadence.
