Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is one of the world’s strongest and fastest growing economic sectors. It is vital to Alberta’s future and will play a key role in improving health care, education and the delivery of government services throughout the province.
The Alberta Science and Research Authority released its ICT strategy in 1998, and various groups in both the private and public sector have embraced the strategy and are putting it to good use. This direction has opened doors to progressive collaboration between all areas of government and the private sector in each of the four pillars identified in the ICT strategy. These pillars include education, infrastructure, research and development and growth.
Alberta Advanced Education and Technology is committed to fostering excellence in ICT research that contributes to the continued prosperity of this province.
