Doing Business in Alberta
Research, Innovation & Commercialization
ā
The Alberta government's research and development expenditures are
among the highest in Canada, on a per capita basis, partially thanks to
annual draws on two research endowment funds valued at over $2 billion.
Alberta has an established competitive funding program for Alberta's
post-secondary institutions that supports the acquisition of research
equipment to build research capacity. Since 2001, the program's
investment of $287 million has leveraged $926 million more in other
funding.
Alberta is at the forefront of key research areas, such as biorefining and
biocomposite materials, nanotechnology, machine learning and data
analysis, cleaner energy production and alternative energy,
cardiovascular health, brain health, diabetes, biomedical technologies,
and infectious diseases.
Alberta's provincial SR&ED tax credit is worth 10 per cent of a company's
eligible expenditures up to $4 million, for a maximum credit of $400,000.
