Alberta: redefining innovation beyond tech.
When people think of innovation, their minds often go to cutting-edge software, artificial intelligence or tech startups.

Instead, Alberta has positioned itself as a leader in non-traditional innovation—where creative solutions to real-world challenges drive economic growth, job creation, and community revitalization.

AEG Podcast, Episode 5: Empowering Alberta’s Youth: The Ten Peaks Innovation Alliance’s Story
The AEG podcast features an interview with Dagmar Knutson, the founder of 10 Peaks Innovation Alliances. Dagmar's non-profit organization aims to educate Alberta's youth on technology, innovation, inclusivity, energy, environment, and career opportunities. The organization's inspiration came from her son's lack of knowledge about the energy industry in Alberta.

The organization strives to provide balanced conversations about sustainability and energy transition to inspire and engage students in the fast-changing world of technology and innovation.
