Innovation Agenda

In Alberta, government strategies, policies and collaboration between research institutions, industry and governments is required for the growth of diverse, knowledge-driven companies, engaged in sustainable development.

The Goal

The goal of Alberta’s innovation agenda is to sustain and enhance the province’s long term prosperity and quality of life through science, technology and innovation.

These companies can compete successfully in world markets, provide skilled employment for Albertans, and strengthen the province’s economy and quality of life.

Building on a solid fiscal and regulatory foundation, Alberta’s innovation agenda focuses on three strong, competitive sectors: energy, information and communications technology and the life sciences.

The innovation agenda supports the goals of key Alberta government strategies, including the 20 year strategy, value-added strategy and integrated energy strategy.
