Innovation has never played a more significant role in Alberta. We are uniquely positioned to improve the lives of Albertans today and for generations to come.  

Our broad scope gives us the perspective to solve some big challenges. We span the full spectrum of sectors and industries – from health care innovations to smart agriculture and food production. From academic research to tech startups and artificial intelligence adoption, from cleantech to renewable energy.  

End-to-end offerings

We scan the horizon for opportunities to build on provincial strengths and prepare Alberta for the future.

Then we design targeted funding programs,

to get great ideas off the ground.

Funding Programs

And we offer a wide range of services,

from business advice to applied research and industrial testing facilities.

Five areas of opportunity 

We identified five high impact areas where we could fill innovation gaps, capitalize on economic opportunities and address provincial needs across multiple sectors.  

Our programs, services, collaborations and initiatives are geared to advancing artificial intelligence, clean resource technologies, digital health, the entrepreneurial ecosystem and smart agriculture.
