Introduction
We understand business. Businesses and investors know the importance of ideas, people and relationships. They need good working partnerships and support to quickly translate research into meaningful products, processes and services - all in an environment of open innovation. And Alberta is the place that fosters and integrates all of these vital elements.
Alberta Innovates - Technology Futures helps technical industries find solutions, develop products and move technologies to market. It's building on Alberta's already established advantage in platform technologies - like nanotechnology, information communications technologies, and genomics - to enhance the technical capacity within Alberta's high-tech companies. It's facilitating access to the strengths of our key partners that help support commercialization and grow new ventures. It's investing in and attracting research and entrepreneurial talent who can support these priorities.
