So a company would come forward with an application describing the market problem they are trying to address, and the technology solution they are going to build to address the problem and their business forecast, their  revenue and profit forecast.    And we assess the application and if awarded, then we would provide them with funds ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 dollars per project and that is  on a one to a one to one matching basis.    And we help the as a catalyst for their success.  <\/em> <\/p>\n<p> Dr. Abousalem says TecTerra also funds geomatics companies to hire highly qualified professionals.  <\/p>\n<p><em> Thanks today to <strong>Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n<p> <strong>FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/> I&rsquo;M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/strong> <\/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>\u00a02011-11-10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Geomatics<\/strong>  is an important technology that helps in the <strong>mapping<\/strong> of forest fires, water resources, as well as surveying for oil and gas.
