Alberta Innovation and Science consolidates the Alberta government’s scientific research, development and application activities and is responsible for furthering the province’s innovation agenda.
Our priorities are building research capacity and capability, attracting and retaining top researchers and other highly qualified people, providing support for technology commercialization and helping organizations to find ways to bridge the gap between generating ideas and developing viable products.
We provide leadership and make strategic investments in research, science and technology initiatives in three priority areas:
- Energy
- Information and communications technology
- Life sciences, which includes agriculture, biotechnology, forestry, sustainable resource management and water research.
These investments are building on Alberta’s existing strengths and are helping the province develop a more globally competitive, knowledge-based economy.
