OPPORTUNITY

In partnership, NSERC Alliance and Alberta Innovates' (AI) Campus Alberta Small Business Engagement (CASBE) program will support post-secondary (universities) R&D collaborations that utilize emerging technologies to assist Alberta small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) developing technology with the highest potential for regional economic development and commercialization in Alberta.

AI will only support the project if 1) it is aligned to Alberta Innovates Emerging Technologies areas; and 2) if there is at least ONE Alberta SME as industry partner. The streamlined joint application and decision process enables companies to undertake research collaborations with Alberta-based researchers and have their cash contribution leveraged by NSERC and supported by AI. The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the company(ies) and to Alberta and build impactful longer-term collaborations between the researcher and the company.
