Innovation Agenda
The goal of Alberta’s innovation agenda is to sustain and enhance the province’s long term prosperity and quality of life through science, technology and innovation. In Alberta, government strategies, policies and collaboration between research institutions, industry and governments is required for the growth of diverse, knowledge-driven companies, engaged in sustainable development.
These companies can compete successfully in world markets, provide skilled employment for Albertans, and strengthen the province’s economy and quality of life.Building on a solid fiscal and regulatory foundation, Alberta’s innovation agenda focuses on three strong, competitive sectors: energy, information and communications technology and the life sciences.The innovation agenda supports the goals of key Alberta government strategies, including the 20 year strategy, value-added strategy and integrated energy strategy.
Technology Priorities
Investing in science and technology today is critical to ensuring prosperity and a high quality of life tomorrow. That is why Alberta Advanced Education and Technology is focusing on the application of science and research and the innovative use of technology to shape the future of the province.

Instituto Politécnico Nacional
Founded in 1936, the National Polytechnic Institute (Instituto Politécnico Nacional, IPN) is the most important public technological higher education center in Mexico. Academic quality is one of our main distinctions: more than 94% of our students are trained in an educational program at a quality level recognized by external agencies. The Institute was founded on the premise of supporting the country’s industrialization and national development process, as well as to offer education opportunities to various social sectors, especially the less favored. In 2004, the Institute undertook a process of institutional transformation to renew its mission. With over 72 years of existence, its role in higher education, science and technology, and the quality of services it provides, has propelled it to become a national leader in technological education with broad public recognition.
College Education and Post-Graduate Studies
Besides Technical Highschool, the Institute educates students for professional performance in the labor market through 25 schools, centers and inter-disciplinary units in school face to face and virtual modes, both based on teaching and research at laboratories, workshops and pilot plants. Most of our programs are eight semesters long, while others extend to nine or ten semesters. The selection process takes place by means of an annual acceptance exam. The 2007-2008 school-year had 85,240 students, 68 bachelor degree programs and 24 higher education campuses. This coming February the Guanajuato Campus' Professional Inter-Disciplinary Engineering Unit will open offering four bachelor programs for the 2008-2009 school-year. More than 90% of all college students were enrolled in programs recognized by the different agencies that comprise COPAES.
Post-graduate studies are flexible and closely linked to research and feature a strong component based on tutorials to facilitate academic exchange. Students also benefit from the advantages offered by technology, as well as from workplace experiences. More than five thousand students are enrolled in the 28 specialties, 60 master degrees, and 28 PhD programs. Post-graduate studies are taught in colleges and research centers nationwide. The National Post Graduate Program recognizes fifty-four of these programs, which accounts for close to 41% of total enrollment. Posgraduate programs.

National and International Collaboration
At the IPN collaboration and internationalization are part of the integral stretegy of relations with the environment. They are both driven by the academic and student exchange, network creation, involvement in a number of events, as well as joint teaching, research and outreach projects that are formalized by agreements. The Institute has a long-standing tradition of collaboration with institutions and universities of Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States of America, among others.

iCORE was established in October 1999 by the Government of Alberta to foster an expanding community of exceptional researchers in the field of informatics, that is, areas of computer science, electrical and computer engineering, physics, mathematics and other disciplines related to information and communications technology (ICT).
As part of the Government of Alberta's strategy to create a globally competitive knowledge-based economic sector, iCORE is directing its support to areas in which Alberta has a chance to develop internationally recognized research teams. It is also focusing on areas in which Alberta companies are active, so that intellectual property and valuable knowledge workers resulting from iCORE's investment will have compelling reasons to stay in Alberta.
iCORE invests in people of the highest calibre, research scientists who work on fundamental and applied problems in informatics. It operates several grant programs to develop iCORE Chairs at Alberta universities, around which world-class research teams are developed. Since its inception, more than 24 research chairs have been established to focus on emerging areas such as wireless communications, artificial intelligence, and quantum and nanocomputing.
