Alberta Innovates is injecting $2.5 million through its Digital Innovation in Clean Energy (DICE) program to support digital technology projects in the energy sector.
The program aims to reduce emissions while creating value and jobs, with individual projects eligible for up to $250,000 over an 18-month period.
The DICE program supports the development of digital technologies that create value and jobs while reducing emissions in the energy sector. This includes technologies in artificial intelligence and machine learning, blockchain, industrial internet of things, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), virtual and augmented reality, digital twins, and more.
“The DICE competition provides opportunities for positive collisions between technology developers and those in the energy sector with pressing needs. Reducing greenhouse gasses, creating value for energy companies, and de-risking new technologies provides Alberta-based companies a clear advantage over their competitors, and when they succeed, it’s good for all Albertans,” commented Laura Kilcrease, CEO, Alberta Innovates.
Applications will be due on February 1st and successful projects will be notified by May 1, 2024. Projects must be completed by October 31, 2025.
There will be a free, 1-hour Digital Innovation in Clean Energy (DICE) III applicant webinar on Monday, December 11, 2023, from 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM MST. The session will involve a formal presentation, followed by a question and answer session. Click here to register.
