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.
