Innovation Anthology #314:
The new president and CEO of Alberta Innovates Technology Futures brings with him a strong background in both science and business.
Trained as a physicist, Dr. Gary Albach ran a successful spinoff company focused on semiconductors and advanced materials.
Now Dr. Albach will have a staff of 700 at Technology Futures. This new corporation amalgamates the Alberta Research Council, Alberta Ingenuity, iCORE and nanoAlberta.
DR GARY ALBACH: Our job is to deliver prosperity in the province through the commercialization of Alberta technologies. That means supporting businesses in the province through the variety of tools that we have from funding through product development in our facilities
Dr Albach says Alberta’s technology strategy focuses on three pillars. These are energy and environment, health and bio solutions
DR. GARY ALBACH: Now in addition to those, there are platform technologies that are evolving, evolving quickly in the province. And the first of those are nanotechnology, information and communication technologies, ICT, and genomics.
