What is PNWER?
 
Alaska Governor Sean Parnell meets with the PNWER delegation during the January 2010 Juneau visit. 

The Pacific NorthWest Economic Region (PNWER) is a public-private partnership chartered by the states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington; the western Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Yukon; and Northwest Territories. PNWER is  dedicated to encouraging global economic competitiveness and preserving our world-class natural environment. It is made up of ten states, provinces, and territories. PNWER is recognized by both the United States and Canada as the “model” for regional and bi-national cooperation because of its proven success. PNWER is a respected voice and resource for our region, and provides the public and private sectors a cross-border forum for unfiltered dialogue that capitalizes upon the synergies between business leaders and elected officials who work to advance the region’s global competitiveness .

PNWER in Action
 
     
The Region's Future
With over 20 million people and over US $700 billion in gross regional product, the US Pacific Northwest and Western Canada is one of fastest growing regions of North America. We are China and East Asia’s gateway to North America, the host of the 2010 Winter Olympics and the site of several major infrastructure projects and business opportunities. Now more than ever, the Pacific Northwest needs a bi-national, regional advocate that works with both the public and private sectors.

“[PNWER] has had a profound impact on policymaking." - Hon. Stockwell Day, Canada's International Trade Minister
PNWER delivers results on regional issues through action plans developed by more than fourteen working groups corresponding to the region’s key priorities. Each working group is co-chaired by an industry leader and legislator. Founded in 1991, PNWER is the only statutory, non-partisan, non-profit, bi-national, public/private partnership in North America. PNWER is the forum for collaborative bi-national planning involving both the public and private sectors and offers leadership at the state/provincial level in Salem, Olympia, Boise, Helena, Juneau, Edmonton, Regina, Victoria and Whitehorse, and at the national level in Washington, DC and Ottawa.
