2011-2016 – the CRI future? CRI will continue but at what level remains uncertain; Support from PREDA and IRAP remains strong; RADF funds extended; no replacement in sight. Innovation: Provincial Government will fund as the NWAB node for its Regional Innovation Network; industry support, innovation clients, innovation voucher services all continue to mature. Applied Research: requested Federal $ for P2P research program (5-years), industry partnerships mature; GPRC partnership with AAFC-Beaverlodge for AR matures “ It will emerge” Edmonton Calgary Grande Prairie Centre 2000

It’s about people and relationships. Coming together is a beginning Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. Henry Ford
