The Alberta Innovates Impact Action Lab support clients in understanding the economic and social impact of their work for Alberta and beyond.
The Alberta Innovates Impact Action Lab partners with ecosystem players to activate and amplify the collective economic and societal impact of investments in research and innovation.
How do you know that you are making a difference to people’s lives? Do you hope to make a greater difference in the future? Do you wonder about the ripple effects of your work? Are you facing increased pressure to demonstrate and communicate return on investment (ROI), do more with less, and meet growing expectations for public accountability and societal impact?
If you answered yes to any of the above pain points, the Alberta Innovates Impact Action Lab can help!
We work closely with a network of experts and the research and innovation community to foster an impact mindset. We help organizations plan, assess, and measure their progress. We support you in demonstrating and communicating your impact, whether it’s economic, environmental, health, or social.
The Impact Action Lab helps our clients convert their investments into outcomes and impact for Albertans, Canadians, and beyond.
The Impact Action Lab works with research and innovation ecosystem partners, including funders, government agencies, organizations, entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators.
We can help you maximize your impact through the stages of planning, implementing, managing, and communicating.
We combine impact science expertise plus practical implementation and scaling experience, along with a global network of experts and alumni, to deliver best-in-class supports in these areas:
