Alberta Innovates Voucher Program

Alberta Innovates supports technology driven companies through its Voucher Program, which provides non repayable contributions for early stage development, prototyping, and testing. Companies use these vouchers to validate new technologies or advance toward commercialization.

Applicants must demonstrate novelty in their technology and clear technical milestones. Alberta Innovates looks for teams that can articulate the scientific or engineering challenge behind their project. This emphasis on technical rigor makes the program ideal for innovation focused companies.

Funds support activities such as prototype development, technical validation, engineering design work, and specialized consulting. Companies may also use vouchers to access labs, research facilities, or testing environments that accelerate product maturity.

The program encourages collaboration with qualified service providers and academic institutions. This collaborative model helps companies advance technologies faster while building partnerships that support long term scale.
