In recognition of the ASTech Awards 35 year anniversary – we will be embarking on a 35-week program (Shown below) celebrating the impact of 35 years of Innovation in Alberta.
Community, we need your help to develop this material, so that today’s new entrepreneurs and researchers can learn from the challenges and success of ASTech Award winners and Alberta community champions.
Note: This is an additional opportunity – and different than the standard sponsorship of the ASTech Awards Events (which can be found through this link).
To support “The Impact of 35 Years of Innovation in Alberta” Program -– Join us by sponsoring or sharing your Alberta innovation-related story (click on the link below)
