The Government of Alberta is investing over $3.6M to support research in technology development and innovation. This funding will contribute to equipment and facility costs for a range of ongoing research projects, including Lethbridge College’s Smart Irrigation Farm Project; the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology’s Boreal Research Project; and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology’s Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Project and Hydrogen and Energy Storage Technologies Project. “Support from the government for infrastructure and researchers to address industry-driven challenges enables the commercialization of sustainable technologies and practices, enhancing the quality of life for Albertans through economic development,” said SAIT President David Ross.
