As a member of the expert panel on technology commercialization and innovation engaged by the government of Alberta, Canada in the fall of 2013, Dr. Michael Witt, Entrepreneur-in-Residence and Lecturer of the School of Management, took part in creating a report that will steer the province’s approach towards successfully competing in the global market.
The report, entitled Sustainable Prosperity Through Innovation, outlines six key recommendations that will form the foundation for innovation growth in the province, and played a major role in the government’s decision to launch the Alberta Innovation Council.
