Help Shape Alberta's Technology and Innovation Strategy
Official title: Alberta Technology and Innovation Strategy Stakeholder Engagement
Alberta released its first Technology and Innovation Strategy in 2022 to become a global tech hub. Now the government wants feedback on what's working and what needs to change. The catch? This is an invitation-only engagement for select stakeholders from industry, government, and academia.
Why This Matters
Working in tech or thinking about it? Alberta's trying to attract more tech jobs and investment. This strategy shapes which programs get funded and which skills get prioritized. If you're a startup founder, investor, or tech worker in Alberta, the decisions here affect your opportunities.
What Could Change
The 2022 strategy could be renewed with new priorities for 2030. Funding programs for tech startups may shift. Training initiatives and immigration pathways for tech talent could be adjusted based on what stakeholders say is working or not.
Key Issues
- Are current initiatives effectively supporting Alberta's tech sector growth?
- What barriers are preventing Alberta from meeting its 2030 innovation targets?
- What emerging opportunities should the renewed strategy prioritize?
How to Participate
- Review the Alberta Technology and Innovation Strategy to understand the current framework.
- Note: This is an invitation-only engagement. If you're a stakeholder from industry, government, agencies, business support organizations, investors, or post-secondary institutions, you may be contacted to participate in sessions, roundtables, or surveys.
