New high-tech business environment marks next frontier in diversification of Alberta's economy

Increasing the number of new companies in emerging advanced technology sectors is the goal of Alberta’s action plan Bringing Technology to Market. This $178-million plan highlights a range of coordinated actions - from a research and development tax credit to increased investment capital to technology-specific business supports and new technopreneurship projects.

nextMEDIA – The Future of Digital Content wrapped Sunday in Banff, Alberta, concluding two days and three evenings of presentations, keynote addresses, workshops, and networking events. This was the fourth year for the event, which has consistently delivered a ‘look forward’ on issues affecting both the broadcast and digital media sectors.

The Technology Commercialization Division of Alberta Advanced Education and Technology has been informed of an RFI/RFP surrounding an online serious game that will provide information and promote trades careers and options to 13-19 year old students.

The RFI will be published on the Alberta Purchasing Connection website in the next few weeks.
