And he explains the need.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nDR. PERRY KINKAIDE: <\/b><em>There are multiple needs.  We\u2019ve established a very complex infrastructure in Alberta, many  many associations which some would refer to as fragmented.  That fragmentation needs to be dealt with in order to have a voice that can  represent to government and to industry and to  itself what are our requirements now and into the future?  Technology is emerging extremely rapidly.  We have become a nation extremely knowledgeable, hence our great universities.  But moving that knowledge to market and capitalizing on that knowledge to commercialize it into new businesses has been very slow.  And I think government has tried with billions, pumping them into our universities and trying to build bridges that haven\u2019t been effective.   I think they are finally turning and saying, maybe we outght to give industry a shot at it.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThat was Dr. Perry Kinkaide.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\">Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Alberta Innovates launched its consolidation on November 1, 2016<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et-waypoint et_pb_image et_pb_animation_off et_pb_image_5 et_always_center_on_mobile et_pb_image_sticky et-animated\"> \t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/albertainnovates.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/tech_futures_v2_icon.png\" \/> \t\t\t \t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>780-450-5111<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\/\">albertatechfutures.ca<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>250 Karl Clark Road,<br \/>Edmonton, Alberta, Canada<br \/>T6N 1E4<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/AI_Tech_RGB_smallForWeb.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02011-06-16<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can a new association kickstart the diversification of Alberta\u2019s economy beyond oil and gas?
