Creating Innovation Opportunities for the Energy Sector

Alberta Innovates announces new funding through the program Digital Innovation in Clean Energy  (HE SAYS). There is $2,5 million in funding available from Alberta Innovates, with up to $250.000 available per project over a term of 18 months.

The DICE program supports the development of digital technologies that create value and jobs while reducing emissions in the energy sector. This includes artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, blockchain, industrial Internet of Things, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), virtual and augmented reality, digital twins and much more. The program intends to use data to de-risk technologies along with cash flow to create value for the developer and end user. Proposals may include areas such as:

  • New sources of clean energy and efficient, convenient and reliable storage technologies.
  • Technologies to optimize the effective and efficient extraction and processing of resources.
  • Discovery, development and production of non-renewable and renewable energy resources, value-added and alternative products, mineral value chain and green technologies.
  • Advance commercialization opportunities in existing areas of strength, including artificial intelligence, machine learning and quantum science.
  • Develop technologies to increase productivity, improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact and achieve a low-carbon future.
  • Leverage the digital economy across all sectors, including infrastructure, broadband, big data and open data, to encourage digital adoption.

“The DICE competition provides opportunities for positive collisions between technology developers and those in the energy sector with urgent needs. Reducing greenhouse gases, creating value for energy companies and reducing the risks of new technologies give Alberta-based companies a clear advantage over their competitors, and when they succeed, it's good for all Albertans of Alberta."

Laura Kilcrease, CEO, Alberta innovates
