“Through this funding, Amii will continue to increase the depth of Alberta’s innovation and technology talent pool, accelerate the commercialization of Alberta research and innovation, and build upon Alberta’s position as a global leader in AI innovation and industry deployment,” said Cam Linke, CEO, Amii.
