Innovation Anthology #748:
Grande Prairie sits in northwest Alberta surrounded by farms, forest and oil fields. It’s home to a regional college and a Centre for Research and Innovation.
Bruce Rutley manages the Centre.
As he explains, the region is a hub of invention and entrepreneurial spirit.
BRUCE RUTLEY: The innovation services provides the types of services that an entrepreneur or innovator or inventor would need to get their product or idea developed and into the marketplace. So that includes access to patent and intellectual property information
Over the years we have helped clients solve numerous technical problems and we helped them access resources from either Alberta Innovates or from the Industrial Research Assistance Program through NRC-IRAP. And another area where we support innovators developing their ideas is on new media marketing. How do you get your new idea out into the marketplace? How do you attract people to your website? How do you make good use of your website as a marketing tool?
Bruce Rutley says to date the Centre for Research and Innovation in Grande Prairie has served over 1200 clients.
