Saskatoon, Saskatchewan was commonly referred to as POW City, the acronym meaning Potash, Oil and Wheat. While these commodities are still an important element of the economy, Saskatoon has become much more. Its new slogan "Saskatoon Shines" reflects that.
Saskatoon is the home of a thriving high-tech industry. Innovation Place, located at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, is the research home of large bio-technology companies including Aventis Canada, Bayer Incorporated, Philom Bias, Dow Agrosciences Canada, Monsanto and Novartis.

Saskatoon is also the home of the University of Saskatchewan, the centre where radiation and chemotherapy cancer treatments were founded. The university will soon be home to the Synchrotron - The Canadian Light Source. This facility is the only one of its kind in Canada and one of only a handful of "third generation" synchrotrons in the world. It will attract $35 million annually in commercial research and development spending and will add a minimum of $12 million per year to Canada's GDP when operational.
