Showcasing Innovation

Our Learn How initiative, our podcast called Shift by Alberta Innovates, and our impact stories inform, inspire and activate support for the critical work Alberta’s researchers, entrepreneurs, and others are doing.

Many innovative breakthroughs are happening right here in Alberta. From startups to well-established, large-scale organizations, the spirit of continuous reinvention and innovation deserves to be shared widely.

Dive in and learn more about Alberta’s ecosystem of innovators, researchers and innovation service providers.

 

Innovate – it’s what we do! 

Albertans have always been focused on innovation. It’s in our blood. Although Alberta has primarily been known for its oil & gas and agriculture expertise, the province is far more diverse. It’s also:  

  • A developing powerhouse in tech and emerging tech, deeply entrenched in many other industries including artificial intelligence with Amii. 
  • Home to eight Regional Innovation Networks that are entrepreneur-centric, community-based networks with the goal of providing programs and services to accelerate growth of technology and knowledge-based businesses across the province. 
  • Home to four globally recognized business accelerators. 
  • Home to startups, entrepreneurs and applied researchers focused on everything from reimagining waste and debt to personalized medicine and building a hydrogen economy. 

 

We share the narrative of Alberta innovators and supporters in multiple formats:
