Sponsorships

PLEASE NOTE: To allow sufficient time to develop a strong partnership and maximize the value of our sponsorship support, Alberta Innovates is now encouraging applications for events and initiatives taking place in the 2027-28 fiscal year. We will continue to consider smaller sponsorship requests for the current fiscal year.

Alberta Innovates is committed to driving innovation and creating opportunities that strengthen Alberta’s economy and communities. From industry conferences to grassroots initiatives, we proudly support events and organizations that spark collaboration, knowledge-sharing and growth across the province.

Through sponsorships, Alberta Innovates helps empower innovators and leaders to turn bold ideas into real-world impact, reflecting our mission: to accelerate innovation for a prosperous Alberta.
