Building Research Capacity

Alberta is built on a foundation of principles and policies that let opportunity flourish. This foundation provides the infrastructure and environment to attract highly qualified people looking for the best place to work, live and do business.  Increased integration of the global economy presents abundant opportunities for Alberta, and we are committed to ensuring that our province remains viable and attractive for investment in the global knowledge–based economy.

We offer:

  • A focal point for service integration in a stable business environment (single point of contact for research, infrastructure and other provincial contacts and resources)
  • Access to a highly capitalized world-class research and commercialization infrastructure (continued growing investment)
  • Access to people with specialized expertise (well funded and growing knowledge base)
  • Capacity and willingness to make leveraged investments (opportunity for shared R&D costs)
  • Openness to form flexible collaborative relationships (an environment that facilitates cooperation on projects and ideas)
