Mission Statement
Inspiring the next generation of innovation in science and technology in Alberta since 1989.
About This Cause
The Alberta Science and Technology Leadership (ASTech) Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded through an industry initiative in 1989 to showcase the substantial achievements in science & technology in Alberta and to promote the importance of these activities to social and economic benefit. The annual ASTech Awards are Alberta’s most prestigious science and technology honours, recognizing and celebrating our brightest minds and the greatest achievements of outstanding individuals and organizations in the Alberta science and technology community. The premiere event of its kind in Alberta, the ASTech Awards bring together leaders from industry, government, media and educational institutions to honour and celebrate outstanding achievement in categories covering the innovation ecosystem. We recognize, celebrate and grow the culture of innovation in Alberta year round through community outreach that highlights the work of our ASTech Awards alumni. The achievements and the passion behind the work are celebrated through Humans of Alberta Innovation and the Alumni Speaker’s Bureau. We support industry innovation and economic diversification through industry showcases which explore sector challenges from multi-stakeholder viewpoints. We encourage youth to pursue excellence in STEM through the NextGen Innovators Showcase and the ASTech Scholarship program. We published "The Impact of Alberta Innovation" in 2019 to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The book shares the stories of more than 50 people and organizations whose Alberta-based innovation has had global impact. We also compile Coronavirus-inspired Alberta innovation stories into an e-book.
